Abstract

Shale gas development means the nation’s energy independence and economic benefits in terms of employment, manufacturing, services, tax revenues, local economies as well as lease and royalty payments to state and local governments and land owners. However, there are great concerns about its potential impacts and risks on environment, human health, and ecosystems as evidenced by numerous reported incidents and litigation. Among the major issues are: use of fracturing fluids that contain carcinogens and toxins; migration of hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and radioactive substances from shale and nearby formations that causes groundwater and surface water contamination; substantial consumption of water for fracturing; air emissions; sedimentation; earthquakes; explosion; and human health effects. These issues are discussed in this chapter.
