Learn about how the oil and gas industry impacts health and safety through FracTracker articles, maps, and imagery.
The FracTracker articles and maps below explore the ways that unconventional oil & gas development impact public health and safety, including air pollution, water contamination, pipeline incidents such as explosions, fracking-induced earthquakes, and more. We analyze many of these issues through an Environmental Justice lens, considering that marginalized communities are disproportionately impacted by health issues caused by oil and gas activities.
Explore our images of health and safety issues related to energy exploration, extraction, production, and fossil fuel products and byproducts.
