US EPA's stu;:y confirms water contamination caused by(racking I Ohio Environmental Council 6/14/15,12:33 PM <br /> Additionally, the study didn't consider the variety of other impacts related to fracking, which the state of New <br /> York considered before issuing a ban on the practice.These include hydraulic fracturing's impacts to air, soil, <br /> ecosystems, wildlife, public health and communities. <br /> As a citizenry we demand laws from our public officials to protect us when industry poses significant risks to <br /> public health. Vehicle safety laws and public smoking bans are just a few examples. <br /> The US EPA study highlights that fracking is not only a significant threat to water, but a threat to public <br /> health and quality of life for thousands of people across the country. The time is right to put protections in <br /> place in Ohio to ensure our drinking water, surface water, and air are protected from the inherent risks of <br /> fracking.That's why we have proposed the SAFER GAS Act.
