The Endocrine Disruption Exchange (TEDX) has the most comprehensive list out there.

They also have an excellent analysis of the problems, as well as original research into health impacts associated with fracking-enabled oil and gas development.

You are one my top 5 respected (pundits | columnists | political thinkers | etc) -- thanks very much for your work.

I would very much appreciate your response to this comment re the import of Chinese nationalism

Judging by your verification pic, that is one antiseptically clean office you are posting from. I thought journalism was a messy business.

Where's the pizza boxes? Where's the whiskey bottles?

Would you want fracking/drilling in your backyard?
