Fracking May Affect Air Quality And Human Health: Study  People living or working near active natural gas wells may be exposed to certain pollutants at higher levels than the Environmental Protection Agency considers safe for lifetime exposure, according to scientists from Oregon State University and the University of Cincinnati. The researchers found that hydraulic fracturing – a technique for releasing natural gas from below-ground rock formations – emits pollutants known as PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), including some that are linked with increased risk of cancer and respiratory ailments. “Air pollution from fracking operations may pose an under-recognized health hazard to people living near them,” said the study’s coauthor Kim Anderson, an environmental chemist with OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

Fracking Companies Selling Their Waste Water To Farmers For Our Crops  In the midst of the troublesome California drought, innovation spouts up, invention being the mother of necessity. But just like the aftermath of the BP oil spill , how often are people allowed to actually embark on saving the day, versus the insulting “solutions” foisted on the world by the very corporations responsible for part of the problem? It should not then be surprising that companies like Chevron are extending their magnanimous offer of “crop water” in the form of fracking waste chemicals – for a price, of course. If one didn’t know any better, it almost appears that we are systematically being undercut and sickened to death (she said sarcastically). After all, we already use our own baked sewage sludge to fertilize non-organic crops . And no, the treatment does not stop heavy metals, hundreds of chemicals, drug residues and stomach virus that reside on or within the plants. That’s why the n...

Earthquake Updates: Latest Areas Shook: Oklahoma Hit With 4.3 Quake, Baja California 4.4  In this latest earthquake update, Oklahoma was shaken by a 4.3 magnitude earthquake and across the country, Baja California was rattled by a 4.4 magnitude earthquake. Is this increasing seismic activity cause for alarm? The size and severity of these quakes are on an uptick and the frequency of these events are increasing daily. Another question that must be posed is are these quakes a natural moving of the plates beneath the surface or are these quakes being caused by Fracking? More with Video http://bit.ly/1NV372k

( N.Morgan ) The seismic activity in the country and through out the world has scientists saying it's due to fracking. Fracking could be contributing to this activity. The video below goes over the earthquake that occurred in Texas. Report : A 3.6-magnitude earthquake has struck an area in north Texas - It's the strongest tremor there in 5 years. No damage or injuries are reported - but locals have been left emotionally shaken and not everyone's blaming mother nature. My concern has become the Ring Of Fire . I think we've all kinda forgot about that. Could all of this activity begin to set it off too? The Earth's plates are definitely moving and smashing together. It could set off something like this world has never seen before.         More Stories: History Repeats: US Conducted Biological Tests In Japan’s Okinawa Island In 1960s (Video) Mainstream Media Blackout: Maine Second State To Pass GMO Labeling Law (Videos) Why You Shouldn’t Di...
