It is from a large number of health & medical organisations, professionals and scientists urging New York State to extend its ban on fracking.

| Concerned Health Professionals of New York to New York State |
- Evidence linking water contamination to fracking–related activities is now indisputable.
- The structural integrity of wells can fail. These failures are common, unavoidable, and increase over time as wells age and cement and casings deteriorate
- The disposal of fracking wastewater is causally linked to earthquakes and radioactive contamination of surface water. It remains a problem with no solution.
- Air quality impacts from fracking–related activities are clearer than ever.
- Community and social impacts of fracking can be widespread, expensive, and deadly.
- Industry secrecy contributes to unsettled science
