Former energy industry worker Randy Moyer, an employee of Kurie Supply, says he was chemically poisoned on the job and now has major health issues. Moyer attributes it to exposure to toxic chemicals while working on a hydraulic fracturing (fracking site), pictured here at his home with his son in Pennsylvania. His employer denies that his ill health is because of his job. The Marcellus Shale formation that runs under Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York contains some of the richest deposits of oil and gas in the world. This has led to a boom in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in the state and region, with some economic benefits but mainly negative consequences for residents way of life and the environment of the area.
