They hypothesized that a selected subset of chemicals used in natural gas drilling operations and also surface and ground water samples collected in a drilling-dense region of Garfield County, CO would exhibit estrogen and androgen receptor activities. Water samples...
This letter provides a first-order estimate of conventional air pollutant emissions, and the monetary value of the associated environmental and health damages, from the extraction of unconventional shale gas in Pennsylvania.
Scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks have found that methane from underground reservoirs are streaming from thawing permafrost and receding glaciers, contributing to the greenhouse gas load in the atmosphere.
Associations between maternal residential proximity to NGD and birth outcomes are examined by calculating inverse distance weighted natural gas well counts within a 10-mile radius of maternal residence to estimate maternal exposure to NGD.
