Fracking for natural gas and its operations have ruined Pennsylvania’s environment and the health of Pennsylvanians. This is especially true in the Commonwealth’s Shale regions, where myriad pathways of pollution have had substantial adverse impacts.

But the industry and those who back it still deny this truth, despite the hundreds of reports confirming the details. Now there is a newly released study that incontrovertibly proves the direct connection between fracking pollution and the water people drink.

Dr. John Stolz of Duquesne University will share the findings of he and his colleagues’ research into the contamination of groundwater aquifers and drinking water following a well incident called a “frac-out” that occurred in New Freeport, PA in 2022. The weight of the evidence proving that fracking operations can and do pollute our water just got a lot heavier!

We’ll also hear from Dr. Stolz hot-off-the-press news of a new pollution incident caused by one of Pennsylvania’s most prolific and infamous drillers.
