Re “Oil Field Health Survey ‘Bogus,’ Says Activist Gless

Thank you so much for running an article regarding the bogus “Inglewood Oil Field Communities Health Assessment,” which never thought to address the health of the children who both live and go to school around the Inglewood Oil Field.

When asked why not, the presenters apologized but agreed it should have been included.

Why wasn't it?

When I called L.A. County Health regarding this, I asked why they were the using a survey from 2007?

Five years old?

Since they do these tests every two to three years, where is 2010?

I was told it's not available because it's not ready yet? She thinks 2009 is available. I have not heard back from them regarding my copy of this.

Why was the current health assessment rushed out the door when the Dept. of Public Health still has not delivered 2009 or 2010?

PXP, the drilling company, has started using different chemicals and fracking processes since 2007. What is up? Thank you again.
