The Hidden Fumes of Gas Drilling



EPA EVIDENCE OF HARMFUL INVISIBLE EMISSIONS NEAR A SCHOOL IN COLORADO

This video (no sound) shows a condensate tank, part of a gas well, which functions to separate liquids and other materials from saleable gas. These tanks emit the unwanted by-products into the air. Note the building in the background. It is a school. The video following the initial normal color image is in black and white and was taken by the EPA with a special camera that makes normally invisible hydrocarbons visible. These hydrocarbons are harmful. Note the prevailing winds carrying the emissions toward the school. These invisible emissions add to the greenhouse gas footprint of gas.
