Chemicals Used In Fracking Disrupt Hormones, Research In Mice Suggests.

reported that “chemicals used in fracking and other gas and oil operations increase risk of miscarriages, reduced male fertility, prostate cancer, birth defects and preterm birth by disrupting hormones,” researchers found after exposing “mice to 23 chemicals – including benzene, xylenes and others associated with oil and gas operations – at levels comparable to what humans might get exposed to in drinking water near wastewater spill sites.” The findings were published online in Endocrinology. http://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/environment/2016/08/25/fracking-chemicals-water-raise-fertility-risks/89263388/
