Study: Compendium – 84% of fracking studies show the industry harms human health

This Environmental Health News article discusses the 6th Compendium which shows that 84% of fracking studies show the industry harms human health. A review by doctors and scientists of more than 1,700 studies concludes that the industry poses a threat to air, water, climate, and human health.

The report, published by two groups, Physicians for Social Responsibility and Concerned Health Professionals of New York, found that 69 percent of studies on water quality during the same time period found evidence of or potential for fracking-associated water contamination, and 87 percent of studies on air quality found “significant air pollutant emissions” associated with the industry.
