COAL seam gas investigators have been sent in amid reports of children with nose bleeds and chronic headaches in a Queensland community.
Parents at a Tara residential estate, 300km west of Brisbane, have complained of two odours they believe are toxic gases coming from coal seam gas wells in the area.
They said some children have experienced nose bleeds and chronic headaches over the past three weeks since the odours became apparent.
Natural Resources Minister Andrew Cripps said the Queensland Government had sent in its LNG Enforcement Unit, which monitors CSG operators.
He said he was aware of the health concerns and it was something the Government was treating very seriously.
