Natural gas (methane) can give you cancer?

The USGS is investigating methane in ground water and the long-term effects of coal-bed-methane development. Recent development of methane from coal beds in the Animas River Valley of the San Juan Basin has caused public concern about the possibility of increasing concentrations of natural gas in domestic water supplies. The occurrence of natural gas in domestic wells and water supplies in places presents a safety hazard. The USGS, in cooperation with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, La Plata County, and the Southern Ute Tribe, has studied the occurrence of natural gas in near-surface ground water in the area. A report published by the USGS documented the presence of methane in 70 of the 205 wells sampled and identified potential sources of gases in water, soil, and gas-well surface casings.

Both parties have cited instances of fracking fluid chemicals finding their way into groundwater and contaminating the drinking-water reserve.
