• Our report synthesises recent scientific and public health research on five areas of concern about oil and gas operations:
• Fracking is often applied many times to each of hundreds to thousands of wells in a region.
• Air becomes contaminated with volatile organic compounds, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, radioactive materials, diesel fumes, hydrogen sulfide, acrolein and heavy metals.
