Does fracking contaminate water with hormone disrupting chemicals?

Is this going to be published in an open-access journal? Thank you!

Thank you for looking into this important issue!

Go for it! We need the answer to this question.

Study and test

Thank you for focusing your skills and effort on this important investigation into the effects of fracking. Your work and dedication is appreciated! I trust your work will be thorough, honest and non-biased. I would like to know the outcome of your investigation, if you can, please share updates and results with your sponsors. Thank you and good luck!

Thank you for your work. Here in South Africa we face a combined corporate (Shell) and government (ANC) attack on our scarce Karoo water resources, knowing full well that very few citizens will benefit while corrupt individuals proceed to rape the land. I hope your science proves the risk associated with fracking. Regards, Ian Campbell-Gillies

Wear this out on Twitter and Facebook this week and get this funded!!

Good luck with this project. We need good scientific information and evidence about the effects of fracking, because so much of the political debate involves the hurling of insults and unproven assertions that the other side is wrong. Only today it's been reported in the UK that Nato Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has heard from 'allies' that Russian agents are responsible for infiltrating UK environmental groups to promote an anti-fracking agenda to keep the UK dependent on Russian gas imports. When the debate gets to this heated political level, scientific reasons for fracking, or not fracking, go out the window. So, more power to your elbow in bringing reason and science to this debate. I look forward to reading the results of your research.

How does your proposed research build upon/go beyond Theo Colborn's work?

You have been an inspiration. Good luck meeting your goal!

Thank you for researching this.

Great work! Keep asking the important questions.

I know how important this kind of work is. I look forward to your results.

contributing because we have an observed very high number of still births, miscarriages, and neo natal births here in Utah's Uintah Basin oil/gas drilling basin. We can't control it because most drilling is on an Indian reservation, but national information will help.

Important research that is long overdue. Thank you for your efforts, and good luck against the energy cabal. Hope to see this published widely.

Thank you for this needed investigative research for all of our health and future.

I know you will get it funded and move this important area forward

Susan, Good luck with your research, definitely an important topic! Thanks, Stephanie (Ragan) Goeters

I wish you success in getting sustained funding to continue this important line of research

I am very excited about the work you folks are doing. Also interested in knowing how the information will be published to the world, given the anticipated effort to repress it. Look forward to hearing more. Thank you for sharing your talent in such an important way... Sincere regards, Irene Derosier

Just wanted to support this work even in this small way. Good luck in your efforts. John Pyburn

Happy to support this exciting, important work!

Thanks for this. I live in Quebec, where there is currently a moratorium on fracking. A couple of experimental fracking missions have found a way around this moratorium, however. I hope you can help contribute to stopping these reprobates.

Thank you for your research on this important topic.

Thank you for pursuing truth....

Thank you for doing this!

Good luck with your research!

This is a vital question that needs to be answered in today's world.

Thank you for doing such important work! The research is a service to us all, so please let the results be known loud and clear PUBLICLY and not just in a medical paper that the average person does not read (or necessarily understand). Thank you also for giving us non - scientists a chance to help raise awareness about the chemicals we are all exposed to.

Thank you and best of luck!

Wish you the best with pulling this off. I saw it in ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: sara wylie Date: Mon, May 12, 2014 at 11:04 AM Subject: [PLOTS] Help fund research on whether Fracking is contaminating drinking water with Endocrine Disruptors! To: "publiclaboratory@googlegroups.com" Hello all, Please consider supporting this important research project by Dr. Susan Nagel on whether fracking is contaminating drinking water with endocrine disrupting chemicals

Awesome project! Interested to see the research!

Thanks so very much for your important work in this area. Both my childhood home (North TX) and current home (Western PA) are heavily fracked, and this is a subject my wife and I care deeply about. We very much hope the crowdsource funding, and your project, succeed. I am a PI of the Explorables project of the CMU CREATE Lab, in which we're trying to build explorable visualizations related to topics of environmental and economic import. One of our thrusts is to build a database of fracking sites, and we also work closely with SkyTruth which is a leader in this area. If we might be able to help you with explorable visualization, or with pulling data from states re permitting etc, please don't hesitate to reach out. Best, Randy

good luck, I hope that you make your goal.

Looks like a great project! You have an excellent video. I will advertise this project to my donors in my next lab post later this week. Good luck!

Good luck, Susan! Lori J

Thank you for finding a way to fund this basic and important work.

Susan, I hope your research goes far, and makes a difference. Best of fortune to you. Charlie

Wonderful idea!

Before I saw the reminder, before I saw you driving north on Greenwood, I had thought, "I really need to make this pledge!" We'll continue to share the message. Tim (and Lynn)

Please find the answers we need to help ensure a healthier future for our children!

Good luck with reaching your goal!

Science AMA on Reddit today. Log in and "ask me anything" about endocrine disruption and fracking chemicals. And don't forget to upvote! :-) http://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/223g7i/science_ama_series_im_susan_nagel_i_study_the/

I'm very excited to watch this experiment come to life! Good Luck! -Kara

I'm going to ask if this can be sent out to the members of the World Endometriosis Society. Hopefully we can hit the International scientists and physicians in the field!

kick som but!

Thank you for the work.

Thank you for asking the tough questions that need to be asked.

Keep being awesome.

Good Luck!!!!

Rock on, Susan!

Incredible that a public university has to resort to crowd-funding for such important research!!

Prove it Susannah!!!

Thanks for your work on this. I am working with impacted communities from pipelines, compressor stations and drilling in PA & NY. If you are looking to broaden your subject area, do be in touch I would be happy to connect you. In particular, we are starting coalition called Protect our Children, with grassroots groups from PA. The purpose is to be a focal point for advocating for no fracking infrastructure near schools. Health studies are an important component for the audiences we are addressing, so thank YOU for your work on this. .

I knew it! Do this for the good of our country!

Great research Susan!
