Explanation of why illnesses increased in 2017-2021

I have recently come across a production map that shows an explanation as to why illness started becoming more common and severe. If you look at the graph above you can see that production of the h2s well was slim during the last decade until 2017. When Diversified Gas bought the well, production skyrocketed, more than it ever has. There is email evidence from Diversified that shows employees saying that they knew there was an equipment malfunction that was discovered during the mass release of 2021.

Looking back at my medical records, my complaints and visits to medical professionals my primary care physician was under the assumption that there was a poison entering my body and making me ill in 2017. All my symptoms and complaints regarding these assumptions were during the year 2017 throughout 2021. The medical records and doctors statements show to date all my complaints are very similar to the scientific studies from the World Health Organization and other organizations from the acute exposure of h2s. My rashes and skin conditions, which are not linked to studied but is explained by immune system breakdown from gas exposure, can be traced by photographic evidence dating back to 2017. From 2017 my symptoms and illnesses increased with multiple specialists and testing. There is still no confirmation medically of the cause of my symptoms. I am doing this to make everyone aware, especially the 51 individual interviews with people who are experience the same symptoms in the area. There is now a timeline to look at. 

I can state that the odor of rotten eggs became more severe during this time period of my living on the property. I was never aware that Diversified Gas had a toxic well so close to my home. If I had been aware of this, the rotten egg smell would have been identified sooner. With the studies done it appears this leak could have possibly been light throughout the years until the mass production that made the leak more severe. It would have been nice for there to have been a monitoring or alarm system to notify the company as it was happening. Considering the families and civilians who live in the area, they were completely unaware of the toxic danger. Still to date, have no answers on how long the well was leaking. The only updates are that the leak is stopped and h2s is no longer present in this well.

The questions we want answered are how long it had been leaking, what leaks were identified, what ground and source water contamination were caused by the leak, and why civilians were not aware of it happening and the danger in our backyard. If I would have known of the dangers I would have never bought property, built a home, and raised children where I did. With my training in emergency services and certifications in hazzmat, I just thought it was natural gas that I smelled. I understand that civilians would have the same assumption of it being natural gas and civilians are only educated on the properties on natural gas. With that being said, if civilians knew that h2s has the properties that it did not rise and traveled along the ground, they would understand the severity of living in the hollow. The gas has nowhere to go, but down to our homes. 

In conclusion, this would explain my personal experience and illnesses have been more severe in 2017 forward with medical records as evidence. If they were producing gas like they were, there should have been a monitoring system to identify malfunctioning issues and potential leaks due to the age of the well and how little it was producing before purchase by Diversified.
