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.
