Researchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine invite you to participate in a research study to determine concentration of chemicals related to fracking in urine and semen quality for men living near drilling sites compared to men not living near drilling sites. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire, collect urine and semen sample, ship sample back to the University of Missouri (No visits required).

We are looking for:

  1. Males ages 18 – 45 who are potentially able to father a child (no vasectomy)
  2. No kidney disease
  3. No chronic urinary infections
  4. Have a mailing address where study packages can be sent.
  5. Lives in a state with fracking (unconventional oil and gas development)

This will take about 2 hours to complete at home. Participants will be compensated $100.
