The first couple of years were not easy for the settlers. The question is Why did so many colonist die? To start off with, one of the problems they faced was environmental problems.

I have learned that the use of toxic chemicals during the fracking process and the occurring release of toxic chemicals and radioactive materials during well processing is bad for the environment. Such as, Naphthalene, Xylene, Toluene, Methylbenzene, and Formaldehyde, are all known or suspected to be human carcinogens (Schmidt). Also Hydraulic fracking hurts the environment by the contaminating the water wells, and springs, in which many humans and animals drink from. Another environment impact of hydraulic fracturing is air pollutions. Finally the way fracking impacted animal and human health.
Exemption. Protocol exempt status is determined by the IRB coordinator and the activities are registered with the Office of Graduate Studies & Research rather than going through a formal IRB review process. Exemption is not the same as exclusion from purview of the SJSU policy for the protection of human subjects in research. Protections for the subjects of the research are still in place. In order for a protocol to qualify for exemption, all of the following criteria must be fulfilled: 1) the research cannot pose greater than minimal risk to participants, 2) the research cannot involve a vulnerable subject population (e.g., children, prisoners, pregnant women), 3) the research must fit into one of the categories of exemption outlined on the second page of the IRB application.
