Just as I had posted previously, toxic fracking chemicals are released
into homes from gas stove burners, ovens and furnaces.

A health advocacy non-profit study found thousands of pounds of "forever
chemicals" have been injected into Texas oil and gas wells over the past
decade.
A new study by Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) shows that
since at least 2013, oil and gas companies have used more than 21 tons
-- or 43,000 pounds -- of a class of extremely toxic and persistent
chemicals, known as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in
hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells in Texas. Known for their
toxicity at microscopic levels, their multiple negative health effects,
including cancer, and their resistance to breaking down in the
environment, PFAS are a highly dangerous class of chemicals nicknamed
"forever chemicals."
The analysis identified two types of "forever chemicals" used in Texas’
oil and gas wells, PTFE/Teflon and fluoroalkyl alcohol substituted
polyethylene glycol.
The Texas Tribune reported that perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl
substances were developed in the 1930s and first praised for their
ability to prevent eggs from sticking to a pan, making rain roll off
jackets, and it was added to fire-fighting foams to put out major blazes
quicker.
As research progressed, PFAS have been linked to birth defects, cancer
and other serious diseases. Despite the chemicals’ ability to persist in
water, soil and human blood, PFAS are still used in everything from
waterproof camping gear to fast food containers, the Tribune reported.
Barb Gottlieb, an author on the PSR study, told the Tribune that PFAS
are used to reduce friction for drill bits as they move through the ground.
Because PFAS can also go airborne if the substance is pumped into a well
and that well is then flared or vented, which is common in Texas,
Gottlieb explained people could absorb these "forever chemicals" through
their lungs and some small molecules could pass into the bloodstream.
The Tribune noted how in some areas of that state, like the Fort Worth
region, homes, day cares and businesses are located within a few hundred
feet of flaring gas wells. Research is limited in the effects of
airborne PFAS.
State Rep. Penny Morales Shaw, a Democrat representing Houston,
introduced a bill on March 9 calling on the president of the University
of Houston to designate a department or entity at the university to
conduct, in collaboration with the Railroad Commission of Texas and the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, a study on the use of
perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals in the hydraulic fracturing
process.
The official, state-sponsored study would analyze the extent to which
those forever chemicals are used in the fracking process, whether the
public may be exposed to those chemicals through air or water, potential
human health and environment risks, the feasibility of alternatives to
be used in the fracking process and whether perfluoroalkyl and
polyfluoroalkyl chemicals should be restricted from use in fracking in
the state altogether.
"PSR’s report highlighted shortcomings in disclosure standards and
accountability, particularly up the chain regarding the manufacturing of
chemical products that are used in fracking fluids," Morales Shaw said
in a statement obtained by the Tribune.
SR noted that Texas’s industry-friendly disclosure rules prevent the
public from knowing how widely PFAS or other toxic chemicals have been
used in fracking or other methods or stages of oil and gas drilling and
extraction. Between 2013 and 2022, oil and gas companies injected more
than 58,000 oil and gas wells in 183 of Texas’s 253 counties with at
least one fracking chemical whose identity the companies withheld from
the public through "trade secret" designations.
The analysis found that during that same period, frackers used another 3
million tons of potentially toxic chemicals that remain unidentified.
"Evidence that PFAS is being used in Texas’s oil and gas wells is
alarming, and the scale of trade secret chemical use in the state is
staggering," the report’s lead author, Dusty Horwitt, J.D., said in a
statement. "Texas officials should act immediately to protect the public
by prohibiting the use of PFAS in oil and gas extraction and requiring
full disclosure of all chemicals used in oil and gas wells."
