EDITOR’S NOTE: The story “Fracking Brings Big Health Concerns for Workers” by Roger Drouin was published on March 2, 2015. On March 3, 2015, Truthout received allegations that some content in this piece had been plagiarized by the author. We take the issue of plagiarism extremely seriously, and having investigated, we have removed this story from our site. For information on fracking and the health and safety of workers, we recommend this article at Safety + Health magazine.
An urgent appeal for your support: 48 Hours to raise $21,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 48 hours to hit our $21,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
