British Columbia researchers are kicking off a project to re-evaluate the potential health impacts of living near a liquefied natural gas or LNG export facility.
Liquefied natural gas export facilities burn excess methane, a source of pollution called ‘flaring.’
Satellite emissions data from LNG facilities already built outside B.C. will help the researchers model how flaring could spread a number of pollutants .

A medical health officer has joined a group of scientists at four universities to study potential public health risks from flaring gas at the Woodfibre LNG project in what researchers say is one of the first studies of its kind in Canada.
