Human Health Concerns
Environmental Public Health Dimensions of Shale and Tight Gas Development,”
Environmental Health Perspectives Journal. April 16, 2014.
The review reports:
A number of compounds known to be toxic to humans are associated with shale and tight gas
development, and have been found in elevated concentrations in air, surface waters, and
aquifers.
Some evidence suggests that living close to active development may increase the risk of certain
birth defects, including congenital heart defects and neural tube defects.
The literature also suggests that improper treatment of wastewater (flowback/produced waters)
is associated with contamination of surface water with chemicals from fracturing fluids and
naturally occurring substances such as radium-226, arsenic, and barium.
Other studies suggest that aquifers in closer proximity to active shale and tight gas development
are at more risk of methane contamination than those further from active development.

and tight oil and gas development, including all of the health studies noted in the review, visit
