"Exposure to these chemicals can increase cancer risk and hamper reproduction by decreasing female fertility and the quality and quantity of sperm, the researchers said."


Fracking Chemicals Found to Disrupt Hormone Function

University of Missouri researchers have found that 11 chemicals commonly used in fracking for oil and natural gas are endocrine disruptors, while water near hydraulic fracturing drilling sites had greater hormone-disrupting properties than in areas without drilling.

Endocrine disruptors interfere with the body’s endocrine system, which controls numerous body functions with hormones such as the female hormone estrogen and the male hormone androgen. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals has been linked by other research to cancer, birth defects and infertility.

Unfortunately, due to all the chemicals in everyday household items like furniture that cause cancer and other problems, I don't think knowing this will change anything.

Nothing stands in the way of lazy Americans driving their fuel-inefficient vehicles.
