Study finds fracking linked to migraines, fatigue, sinusitis
Wednesday, September 7, 2016
Over the past few years, hydraulic fracturing has been associated with groundwater pollution, spills and earthquakes. However, a recent study done by John Hopkins University took it step further to determine the direct health effects it has on local residents.
The study found that fracking in Pennsylvania may be associated with migraines, fatigue and sinusitis, adding to a growing body of scientific work that links the extraction process with adverse effects on the environment and people.
It separated itself from previous research on the matter by acquiring a larger sample size and using more sophisticated techniques for assessing exposure, according to ThinkProgress.
The research includes the responses of nearly 8,000 people on the Geisinger Health System.

John Hopkins is notorious for its’ extremely biased ‘studies’. They have a bunch of ‘environmental activists’ as professors who embrace world organizations agendas of controlling people via claims that ‘it is in the best interest’ for these controls that span across ALL aspects of life-‘nutrition, medical, psychological, and environmental’….there is a DEFINATE agenda behind them AND their ‘studies’!!!
