STORIES FROM THE COLORADO FRACKING FRONTLINES
Grave risks clearly linked to the toxic emissions from fracking include cancer, respiratory problems, endocrine disruption, low birth weight babies, birth defects, high infant mortality, and more. Fracking fouls our air, water, and climate and deteriorates our home values.
There have been at least 15 oil- and gas-related explosions in the last year and a half since the Firestone home explosion, several of which have killed or severely burned workers and residents. Over 2,200 complaints have been filed with the COGCC since January 2015, and stories continue to emerge about people living by fracking whose health and quality of life are being ruined.
