Drinking water supplied by the railways on platforms and its staff quarters in the northern states, including poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, is contaminated with bacteria found in human excreta that cause stomach aches and loose motions.The railways admitted for the first time it has persisted with a flawed water quality monitoring procedure, which considered the presence of up to 10 units of thermotolerant coliform bacteria (TCB) in 100ml samples as being "permissible".The Bureau of India Standards says the presence of TCB is a sign of faecal contamination that can cause acute gastroenteritis, diarrhoea, dysentery, and tummy cramps.

New genus of bacteria found living inside hydraulic fracturing wells "Frackibacter" one of dozens of microbes forming sustainable ecosystems there, study findsOhio State University researchers and their colleagues have identified a new genus of bacteria living inside hydraulic fracturing wells.These jars contain samples of "produced water fluids" -- the fluid that is collected at the surface of a hydraulic fracturing well after fracturing -- from wells in Marcellus and Utica shale formations.The fluids are orange because they contain large amounts of iron that oxidizes when the fluids are brought to the surface.
