There are about 800 chemicals known to be used in gas drilling that are called endocrine disruptors. Take a look at this list here.
Endocrine effects include direct effects on traditional endocrine glands, their hormones and receptors (such as estrogens, anti-androgens, and thyroid hormones), as well as signaling cascades that affect many of the body’s systems, including reproductive function and fetal development, the nervous system and behavior, the immune and metabolic systems, the liver, bones and many other organs, glands and tissues.
So if you are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, have an immune system-related illness (such as MS, ALS, lupus, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, gluten sensitivity, diabetes Type 1), liver disease, or osteporosis, etc., stay away from gaslands wherever they are. Young and old alike are at risk around gas wells. I am not a doctor, but this is just common sense.
Take a look at the list of endocrine disruptors used in gas drilling. It is an eye-opener.
