	Description:		Ft: Shane Rattenbury MLA, Australia’s so-called “gas led recovery” is shaping up to be even more hazardous than we thought. The Climate Council has today released a report Kicking the Gas Habit on the harmful health effects of gas, ranging from the hazardous substances used in unconventional gas extraction to the health consequences – particularly for kids – of using gas in our homes. New research estimates that living in a home with gas appliances is responsible for 12 percent of childhood asthma, a comparable risk to that of living with a smoker. When ventilation is poor, levels of harmful contaminants can reach concentrations that significantly exceed safe or legal limits.
