Fugitive emissions of methane (a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2) [1], other gasses which are presumably the reason that people who live near gas fields have higher incidence of cancer, asthma, etc. [2,3], and various chemicals being released into groundwater [4,5], which could also be the causes of the cancer instead of the atmospheric emissions, I don't think there is a strong consensus yet as to which one is responsible and in what proportions. 1. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/fracking-boom-tied-to-methane-spike-in-earths-atmosphere https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/frack... 2. https://www.publicsource.org/fracking-proximity-cancer-asthma-southwestern-pa-pitt-wolf/ https://www.publicsource.org/fracking-proximity-cancer-asthm... 3. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/children-born-near-fracking-sites-have-an-increased-risk-for-leukemia-180980641/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/children-born-near... 4. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fracking-can-contaminate-drinking-water/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fracking-can-cont... 5. https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/study-links-fracking-drinking-water-pollution-and-infant-heath https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/study-links-fracki...
