Fracking for Natural Gas In today’s global fight for the growing demand of energy and promotion of saving energy‚ fracking has become very controversial. The dangers to our society and health are at the forefront in conducting safer practices. To obtain the natural gas‚ fracking or hydraulic fracking must be conducted. Hoffman (2015) explained‚ “Hydrofracking is a controversial oil and gas extraction technique developed in the late 1940s to gain access to fossil energy deposits previously inaccessible

Mains gas is most likely to be piped natural gas. The most serious risk to human health is via a leak‚ however small‚ in the piping system that transports the gas inside the building. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons‚ including methane. It is colourless and odourless‚ which makes a leak difficult to notice. Exposure to high levels of natural gas quickly causes unconsciousness and even death. Exposure to low levels can cause dizziness‚ nausea or heart palpitations. It has this affect because

are prime examples of the implementation of gas laws. The physics are based on the simple principle that warm air rises in cooler air. Hot air has less mass per unit of volume. The relevant gas law in use is Charless Law‚ which is V1/T1=V2/T2. The law states that raising the temperature (T1) will also increase the volume (V2)‚ in order to keep the equation true. Generally‚ air is heated through the use of propane burners. When ignited‚ the volume of the gas increases but the balloon cannot expand much
