Health and confidence in Groningen decreases due to ‘hassle’ around gas extraction

After an earlier recovery, the health of Groningen residents is declining again due to gas extraction damage. Trust in the national government has also fallen, according to the Gronings Perspectief study, which has been keeping track of people in the gas extraction area since 2016. According to the researchers, it seems that Groningen residents experience just as much stress from the ‘hassle’ surrounding gas extraction as from earthquakes and damage.
