SOT Council invites members to review and provide comments on the draft SOT Issue Statement on Hydraulic Fracturing Technology. In the summer of 2012, Council commissioned a small working group to develop a short and balanced presentation of the science and related issues underlying the hydraulic fracturing technology. The team consisted of Bernard D. Goldstein, University of Pittsburgh; Steven D. Cohen, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences; Dennis B. Devlin, ExxonMobil Corporation; Alexander E. Gates, Rutgers University; Michael E. Honeycutt, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; John B. Morris, University of Connecticut; Trevor M. Penning, University of Pennsylvania, and Jennifer Orme Zavaleta, US Environmental Protection Agency. Please go to the SOT website and submit any comments you have about the paper to Martha Lindauer no later than Thursday, May 2. As noted in the Issue Statement Process, comments will be reviewed by the Working Group and incorporated in the current draft. Once this process has been completed, the paper will go to the Council for final approval, after which the SOT Communications Committee will implement its dissemination strategy so that outside audiences can learn more about the science of toxicology and what our members do as scientists.
