Health risks were found at all of Lake Erie’s Pennsylvania beaches last year, a new report says.
The beaches tested in 2024 were found to be potentially unsafe for swimming on at least one day, according to bacteria testing @TribLIVE

“PA has an outsized responsibility to make sure methane leaks are repaired,” Vanessa Lynch @CleanAirMoms said. “And that the oil & gas industry is accountable to the communities that are near it.” She said safeguards can protect PA families. #CutMethane

PA families call on @GovernorShapiro to enact a strong and durable methane state plan as federal uncertainty looms. Climate warming methane and health harming VOCs are released throughout the oil and gas process. #CutMethane now! @CleanAirCouncil @Earthworks @EHPinfo

🚨 MUST WATCH🚨
Methane gas is a dangerous problem–for #climate and health. Each year 10s of 1000s of new oil&gas wells are drilled. Meanwhile, millions of old wells have been abandoned, many unknown. ALL ARE AT RISK AS MAJOR POLLUTERS.

As the 2nd largest gas producing state in the U.S., swift adoption of #methane protections is critical for reducing Pennsylvania oil & gas emissions.
We're glad to see @GovernorShapiro has directed @PennsylvaniaDEP to present their state plan at the October 10 AQTAC meeting.

Good news: US Steel has permanently retired Battery 15 at the Clairton Coke Works (as required by @PennEnvironment + @CleanAirCouncil's legal victory), reducing harmful emissions in the Mon Valley
Here's my statement on this welcome step toward clean air:

A new study raised red flags about respiratory health in PA, particularly for those living near oil & gas activity.
The study by GeoHealth said nationwide, oil & gas venting and flaring exacerbate asthma in 73,000 children, including nearly 12,000 in PA.

We went on the hunt for plastic bags, surveying 50 Pittsburgh businesses. What we found was cause for optimism: Councilperson @erikastrassbrgr's landmark waste-reduction law has already lead to big reduction in plastic over just a few months.
