The Impacts Of Fracking

Also depicted in this paper is the type of cancers caused by each chemical and other related health problems associated with each chemical. Finally, the role of government agencies such as FDA, EPA and OSHA in preventing excessive amount or zero amounts of toxic chemicals from entering the environment will be discussed. The last paragraphs will enumerate the inferred conclusion from my research on Agent Orange, DDT and Benzene.

While fracking has provided a cleaner fuel, there are many negative effects to the environment, the beef industry, human health and little positive effects. Some of these effects include; ground water being polluted with harmful chemicals, this polluted water can cause extreme sickness in humans. Fracking disrupts the habitats of animals and they have to leave the area to find clean water and a better food supply. Also it has been taking an effect on the beef industry in how farmers raise and sell their cattle. Fracking can have negative long term effects on the people living in the local area and make that area inhabitable.

With the proliferation of fracking in the United States and its impact on so many different aspects of society from environmental to health and economic impact, it is an important topic that demands more research and along with more community awareness. Another aspect of fracking that is discussed much less than the environmental and public health aspects is that the people that benefit most from the fracking industry usually white affluent individuals do not live in the area that drilling process or waste disposal process happens (Johnston, J. j., Werder, E., & Sebastian, D. (2016). It is also important to keep in mind how the elites of society are able to mold and manipulate public opinion to suit their needs (Davis, C., & Fisk, J. M. (2014). It has been shown how persistent opinions from elites and media messages can sway public opinion in whichever direction they choose (Davis, C., & Fisk, J. M. (2014). This paper demonstrates how the fracking industry not only poisons the environment it poisons communities through creating conflict and negative public health issues.

Is there anything better that a cool glass of water on a hot day or a swim in a clear blue lake? We need water for drinking, and we need it for recreation. We use it in a thousand ways. Without it, we could not survive. Yet with more and more people on our planet, we are using a lot and also using it carelessly and that is effecting our everyday living.

Some of the negative effects are health issues and earthquakes. While the fracking takes place poison gas, and chemicals get out and contaminates the nearby water. That same water is used for drinking, bathing, cleaning in the surrounding communities (Loki). "There have been over 1,000 documented cases of water contamination near fracking areas as well as cases of sensory, respiratory and neurological damage due to ingested contaminated water"(Loki). The water used during the fracking process is taken out of the water cycle because most of the water will not be seen again. This is not good news for states that have droughts. Since people use water in the fracking process they are getting rid of the water causing water prices to go up

When a natural gas deposit is fracked, some of the gases escape and some are made trying to get to it. Methane that is released during fracking is a highly potent greenhouse gas that can speed up global warming. Methane is a heat trapping gas and is about 30 times worse than Carbon Dioxide. The removal of trees to clear out a fracking site can also harm the atmosphere because plants absorb most of the harmful gases and give back oxygen. In the town of Dish, TX there are numerous fracking sites and the community has claimed they smell gas. The company that was fracking conducted their own test and had said there were no gas leaks detectable by human nose. The town of Dish preformed their own tests and had found a toxic mix of air pollution which

Changes with the process of fracking often called slick water high pressure horizontal drilling have become common in recent years are having devastating effects on people, their livestock as well as on communities as a whole. The toxic and often carcinogenic chemicals used in the process and as a result of the methods used are often contaminating water supplies. Air quality is also being greatly affected due to side effects from this method of resource extraction and greenhouse gas emissions both created by technology and equipment fails. Several social conflicts and issues arise around this practice too. This video considered these problems as well as the ethicacy of policies, industry practices, and behavior surrounds fracking operations. We will be looking at the ethical evaluation of this practice by Rabbi Mordechai Liebling from Reconstructionist Rabbinical College and support for his perspective of the ethical practices by other participants in this documentary. Rabbi Liebling approaches the issue of the practice of fracking by the oil and gas industry from a land ethic point of view.

Fracking is the breaking of rocks in order to release oil gases stuck inside them. They do this by drilling down real deep and pump a mixture of water, sand and chemicals. The mixture causes rocks to crack and release oil gases and are pushed into a container. Of course there are benefits to fracking, but there are major negative effects of fracking. Mostly effects that affect our population.A primary example of negative effects is the contamination of drinking water for people (Source C). This is very bad because it affects a huge amount of the population the the United States if the water is contaminated. The contaminated water cannot be clean or purified through normal means making it nearly impossible to clean. “Water for fracking is typically

When a discussion comes to the topic of hydraulic fracking many people have concerns about the consequences. The people that are concerned have the right to be wary of hydraulic fracking. Numerous people do not know what fracking is, that it can increase the number of earthquakes, and contaminate well water.

If given the opportunity to help the nation become energy independent, while increasing jobs in your area, most people would happily accept. This opportunity would also be boosting the economy, both locally and nationally, all without the environmental impact of carbon emissions. Does the decision become a no-brainer? But what if this new found energy dependence comes with hidden costs other than carbon emissions? Would you still want this opportunity in your area? This is what experts and passionate amateurs alike have been debating about fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing.. Although it has the potential to be a very lucrative process, presently fracking is far too detrimental to the environment, for example Southern Illinois’

I currently live in Colorado Springs, CO. I have a son that is 16 and two daughters that are 18 and 21. I am married with a beauty and I am only 39 years young. I am also a grandfather of an awesome 3-year-old boy. That’s right! I am a Grandpa! I also play the guitar, but my best hobby is riding motorcycle.

Industries related to the energy have been making efforts to revive the energy sites which have yet not been explored for the benefit of the human life. Fracking started in 1949 in the United States and with due course of time it has increased by thousands of times tan its starting point. These sites are related to the oil and gas industries which are expanding at a rapid pace with the invention of new tools and techniques which revolutionized the industry specific practices.

Since the turn of the millennium, hydraulic fracturing - a process for extracting natural gas- has spread rapidly across the United States. High volume hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” is a process in which water and chemicals are injected into shale formations underground in order to release trapped natural gas.
