SBU Study Fracking: Presents High Water Pollution Risk, Study concludes that more regulation of hydraulic fracturing is necessary to prevent widespread water pollution problems by Christine Sampson, August 7, 2012, Three Village Patch
Scientists at Stony Brook University have published a study that found a significant risk of water pollution could result from hydraulic fracturing, commonly called “fracking” or “hydrofracking,” a process used to extract natural gas from the earth. … The study examined water pollution pathways, such as a tanker truck spilling its contents, failure of well casings that could leak fluids to groundwater, spills at the drilling surface, and more.
