The Pennsylvania Health & Environment Studies on Fracking
Excerpts:
Unsuprisingly, the results mirrored dozens of other epidemiological research, hundreds of other medical and scientific peer-reviewed studies, and hundreds more government reports and media investigations contained in the latest edition of the Compendium of Scientific, Medical, and Media Findings Demonstrating Risks and Harms of Fracking and Associated Gas and Oil Infrastructure, showing the damaging impacts of fracking on human health, on the environment, and on the planet’s climate system.
