    The EPA is deciding right now whether to regulate air pollution from fracking.

    They need to hear from you that only the strongest protections under the Clean Air Act will help families living near oil and gas development.

    TAKE ACTION: Send EPA a message with the tool at the right. Rules requiring cleanup of methane pollution will not only protect our health, but the climate too.

    Communities living with fracking often are exposed to air pollution that causes serious health problems. But industry claims there's no proof.

    Earthworks' Citizens Empowerment Project provides citizens with the tools they need to document pollution in their communities.

    Our FLIR Gasfinder camera provides clear visual evidence of toxic gases leaking or venting from operations. Our camera is specially designed to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It's the same camera used by the industry and regulatory agencies.
