Fracking bad language – hydraulic fracturing and earthquake risks [PDF]
Geoscience Communication, 2021 Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is a borehole stimulation technique used to enhance permeability in geological resource management, including the extraction of shale gas. The process of hydraulic fracturing can induce seismicity.

Effect of Providing Information on Students' Knowledge and Concerns about Hydraulic Fracking. [PDF]
J Toxicol Environ Health A, 2015 Governmental agencies, regulators, health professionals, and the public are faced with understanding and responding to new development practices and conditions in their local and regional environment. While hydraulic fracking (fracking) for shale gas has been practiced for over 50 years in some states, it is a relatively recent event in the ...

Hydraulic fracturing in cells and tissues: fracking meets cell biology [PDF]
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2017 The animal body is fundamentally made of water. A small fraction of this water is freely flowing in blood and lymph, but most of it is trapped in hydrogels such as the extracellular matrix (ECM), the cytoskeleton, and chromatin.

Inhibition of Microbial Growth and Biofilm Formation in Pure and Mixed Bacterial Samples [PDF]
MicroorganismsHydraulic fracturing, or fracking, requires large amounts of water to extract fossil fuel from rock formations. As a result of hydraulic fracturing, the briny wastewater, often termed back-produced fracturing or fracking water (FW), is pumped into ...
