While environmentalists have long attempted to link hydraulic fracturing to earthquakes and air pollution, a study suggests this burgeoning extraction process can also lead to gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Hydraulic fracturing - more commonly referred to as fracking - is the process by which pressurized liquid breaks apart rock, allowing the capture of natural gas and other resources. While the new technique has unleashed a U.S. shale oil boom, it remains controversial among environmentalists.
There now appears to be concerns with hydraulic fracturing and sexual disease. Increased fracking activity in Ohio has resulted in higher rates of sexually transmitted infections, according to a study conducted at the Yale Public School of Health.
