 FILE - This July 27, 2011 file photo shows a farmhouse in the background framed by pipes connecting pumps where the hydraulic fracturing process in the Marcellus Shale layer to release natural gas was underway at a Range Resources site in Claysville, Pa.

The study was published Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic, File).
