[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 4171, member: 3"] A natural gas and oil drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, increases the use of chemicals that have been deemed endocrine disruptors by The Endocrine Society. These endocrine-disrupting chemicals have been linked to birth defects and infertility discovered near drilling sites, according to findings in a recent report published in [I]Endocrinology[/I]. “More than 700 chemicals are used in the fracking process, and many of them disturb hormone function,” [B]Susan C. Nagel, PhD,[/B] of the University of Missouri School of Medicine, said in a press release. “With fracking on the rise, populations may face greater health risks from increased [URL="http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/search?q=endocrine%20disrupting%20chemicals&requiredfields=specialty:Endocrinology"]endocrine-disrupting chemical [/URL]exposure.” Researchers collected water and ground samples and measured for [URL="http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/search?q=estrogen&requiredfields=specialty:Endocrinology"]estrogen [/URL]and androgen receptor activities using reporter gene assays in human cell lines.
