scenario 1
A neurological disease cluster in western New York. Some health professionals claim it is a case of mass hysteria. Others remain concerned about environmental stressors. The school opened in 2003, and may be built on an old dump site. And there is is the potential air toxics associated with fraking: > Five natural gas wells owned by the LeRoy school district ring the junior-senior high school building, which opened in 2003. The wells have undergone the controversial procedure known as hydraulic fracturing, state environmental officials said. About 25 western New York school districts own gas wells, though none have more active wells than LeRoy. http://chej.org/2012/01/chej-helps-on-leroy-students-mystery-illness/  > > > W hat kind of figure -- a NYState public health official, for example, would be able to deal well with the complexity of this situation. How could eco-ed help prepare people to deal with situations like this?
