Potential Link Between Fracking and Water Quality Decline
Governments worldwide are looking for alternatives to fossil fuels in an attempt to secure future energy supplies. Technological advances have allowed the extraction of natural gas from the interstitial pores of hydrocarbon-rich deep shale formations, presenting a new contender in the alternative energy field. Kevin A. Schug, professor at the University of Texas, Arlington and LCGC North America EAB member, has led a team to survey and assess the impact of natural gas extraction from shale, also known as “fracking,” on nearby water sources. The results of the assessment were recently published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. Click here. |
