There have been more nose bleeds, vomiting and rashes among families living near the Tara gas wells west of Brisbane in the past month, anti-coal-seam gas campaigners say.
In June, government investigators were sent to the Tara residential estate near Chinchilla amid reports of gassy odours and children suffering nose bleeds, headaches and rashes.
While the investigation continues, Lock the Gate Alliance president Drew Hutton says the health concerns are intensifying.
"There are more people reporting symptoms," Mr Hutton told AAP on Thursday.
"They're ringing in saying their whole family is sick.
"Children are vomiting, they have bleeding noses and ears.
"These symptoms are detailed in various books about health impacts associated with living in the middle of gas fields."

Editor's Note:
This isnt the first I have heard of this. If you tune into Facebook (A Black Cockatoo) there was a repost from one of the farmer's affected. Its not just one person. Its a whole community sick from the coal seam gas mining that is close to their homes.
Why isnt the new Newman Government jumping on this and stamping it out?
Is income for a state in several financial trouble more important than the people who choose to call Queensland their home??
This is outrageous! Where will it end?
Come on Campbell Newman, start thinking about the well being of the people who actually put you in the hot seat not about your budget bottom line!
