(Natural News) Man-made earthquakes in Oklahoma are strongly linked to fracking methods such as the injection depth of wastewater, according to a major study published in Science. The study aimed to provide targeted evidence in proving that there has been a substantial decrease in induced seismicity in the Oklahoma region, with possible applications in other parts […]

(Natural News) Laboratory mice are subject to many of the vulnerabilities that affect humans. So, when a recently-released study warns that female lab mice developed pre-cancerous growths in their mammary glands after they were exposed to high levels of chemicals used for fracking, it stands to reason there’s something toxic about those chemicals. The study […]

(Natural News) The chemicals used in fracking and other unconventional oil and gas (UOG) extraction processes are reported to be linked t0 potentially cancerous growths in the mammary glands of female mice. The lab animals were deliberately exposed at a young age to chemical levels considered detrimental to the environment. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst published their findings in the journal Endocrinology. Earlier studies exposed […]

(Natural News) Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington have revealed in three new studies that some bacteria can live in water that has been contaminated with chemicals that are involved in natural gas extraction. “Our latest published research has revealed that harmful bacteria can be quite prevalent in Texas groundwater, especially waters that […]
