FRACK THAT! Hormone Disrupting Chemicals Study

FRACK THAT!!...HORMONE DISRUPTING CHEMICALS .....A new study adds fodder to the debate over whether fracking contaminates ground and surface water. "Water samples collected at Colorado sites where hydraulic fracturing was used to extract natural gas show the presence of chemicals that have been linked to infertility, birth defects and cancer," the Los Angeles Times reported....."The majority of water samples collected from sites in a drilling-dense region of Colorado exhibited more estrogenic, anti-estrogenic, or anti-androgenic activities than reference sites with limited nearby drilling operations. Our data suggest that natural gas drilling operations may result in elevated Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDC) activity in surface and ground water," the study said.http://www.wateronline.com/doc/does-fracking-seep-hormone-disrupting-chemicals-into-water-0001
