Pennsylvania… Two Butler County People Dead From Contaminated Well Water Due to Fracking

The Butler County story is extremely sad… Kim McEvoy wrote her governor “Since
the fracking and flaring have begun, the air quality has deteriorated.
We can’t play outside without getting a headache or a sore throat”. ~ Kim Triolo Feil – See Related article

Kim’s neighbor, Janet McIntyre, reported…

”One
man died just over a week ago.” she said “Mr. Dennis Peterson, 49, had
reported last September that he had ‘rashes all over his body,’ and he
was diagnosed with leukemia by December.” 

Half way through the story, you are prompted to click on
the related story where one of Janet’s three dogs died.  Her other two
dogs refused to drink the water and are still alive. But before the
graphic details of the death of Janet’s dog she reported, 

“Before
they (Janet’s daughter) were allowed to complete the adoption process,
they were required to have their well water tested. Results from a 2004
test showed their water was in good condition.”

 ”On the evening of January 23, 2011, Janet and her
family (including her two grown children and grandchildren) had dinner
together, the meal having been prepared using tap water pumped from her
well.

In the middle of the night, Janet received a frantic call from her
daughter whose nine-month old baby was projectile vomiting and had
diarrhea running out of her diaper and down her legs. By the next day,
Janet and her husband woke up feeling ill and started projectile
vomiting as well.

Janet’s and her husband’s achiness, nausea and bouts of vomiting
persisted for a week. During this time, she also received a call from
her son who was experiencing the same symptoms.

On the night of January
29 into the early hours of January 30, Fred went into the kitchen to get
a glass of water, and turned on the faucet to discover the water was
foaming. He tested the bathroom sink, the tub and the toilet and all
three also produced foamy, soapy-feeling water.

The next day, a friend brought Janet and Fred several gallons of
bottled water. Their health only started to improve after about a day of
drinking the bottled water.”

The only thing different in these people’s lives was that drilling came in and their well water went bad.

The other death, Carl Stiles, was a suicide… he ended the life that
was taken from him because he was in agony with health effects from
drinking his contaminated water.

    “One man died just over a week ago. According to Janet McIntyre, Kim’s neighbor, the man, Mr. Dennis Peterson, 49, had reported last September that he had “rashes all over his body,” and he was diagnosed with leukemia by December. The cause of death has not been confirmed independently as of this writing. While leukemia is associated with volatile organic chemicals, in particular benzene; and volatile organic chemicals abound in association with gas drilling — moving through air and water, while benzene also multiplies due to the sudden heavy industrialization and increase in truck traffic — it may be difficult to know whether the man’s rashes, failing health and death were directly caused by gas drilling in the area.” http://protectingourwaters.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/sos-butler-county-black-water-purple-water-a-fracking-nightmare/
