Natural Gas Drilling Harms Eyes Causes Tumors

Destroys Air: The Ugly Truth Behind the 'Natural' Energy Source

tions including the Clean Air and Safe Drinking Water Acts, the

drilling. Making it difficult for scientist, and doctors to find ill effects

water used for drinking, bathing, showering, doing laundry and dishes.
