Health and environmental concerns related to hydraulic fracturing
The Compendium is a fully referenced compilation of the significant body of scientific, medical
and journalistic findings demonstrating risks and harms of fracking.
Physicians, Scientists, and Engineers for Health Engineers also maintains a database with over 300 peer-reviewed studies about the impacts of fracking.
Toxicologists Outline Key Health Environmental
*New study shows benzene in McKenna Park and other local playgrounds near frack sites
TCEQ shows that oil and gas production is responsible for more smog-forming VOC emissions in the DFW area than all the cars and trucks on the roads.
