In this report find you'll find additional original studies, reviews, and analyses adding evidence to previous findings, especially with regard to adverse birth impacts and childhood cancer.
These impacts may affect a child's entire life course and even survival.
The pollutants inherent to the fracking system include endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and other toxins.
Our full Compendium uncovered no evidence that fracking can be practiced in a manner that does not threaten human health directly or without imperiling climate stability upon which human health depends. As shown by this section Update, the second in a series, the research continues to affirm our conclusion.
