Dr. Sangaramoorthy was part of a team from the University of Maryland that conducted a statewide health impact assessment of potential public health impacts of fracking in Maryland last year. As a result, they have published two articles resulting from this work.

The first article titled, “Place-based perceptions of fracking along the Marcellus Shale” has just been published by Social Science and Medicine. The second article titled, “Hazard Ranking Methodology for Assessing Health Impacts of Unconventional Natural Gas Development and Production: The Maryland Case Study”, was published in PLOS ONE.

With the fracking moratorium set to end on October 2017 in Maryland, both articles are predicted to have wide distribution and discussion.
