Rutgers' Nicole Fahrenfeld leads research documenting impacts in stream water and sediments from a wastewater disposal facility
Scientists say additional research is needed to determine the level of risk to communities living near oil and gas operations.
The study found that some well waste from the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania contained radioactive material not previously reported
Following this study, the researchers would like to look at how the mechanical properties of shale are affected by the fracturing fluid chemistry
Research suggests that drinking water near hydraulic fracturing sites is undergoing chemical changes
“Frackibacter” one of dozens of microbes forming sustainable ecosystems there, study finds
Evidence growing of health problems linked to fracking industry
Evidence growing of health problems linked to active unconventional natural gas wells
To better understand its potential effects, scientists simulated what would happen to the wastewater produced by the technique after a spill
