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.
Speaking against the authoritarian crackdown
In the midst of a nationwide attack on civil liberties, Truthout urgently needs your help.
Journalism is a critical tool in the fight against Trump and his extremist agenda. The right wing knows this — that’s why they’ve taken over many legacy media publications.
But we won’t let truth be replaced by propaganda. As the Trump administration works to silence dissent, please support nonprofit independent journalism. Truthout is almost entirely funded by individual giving, so a one-time or monthly donation goes a long way. Click below to sustain our work.
