But some of the main compounds that combine to form ozone (e.g., volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides) are released from oil and gas operations. Ozone, when found at ground-level, is also referred to as "smog," which, when inhaled can cause or aggravate respiratory ailments such as asthma.

Editor's Notes
- From 2010 to 2013, the population in North Dakota has grown three times faster than the general United States Population. Some town populations have grown from 16,000 to 25,000. Additionally, the ratio of men to women has greatly changed.7 The male-to-female ratio is estimated to be 10:1 in some towns and in others 20:1.8 This oil boom has not only brought economic prosperity, but the boom has brought big city problems of drugs, sex, and violence to these once small towns.
- In North Dakota, violent crimes have increased 162% from 2002 to 2012.14 Currently, North Dakota is the state with the eighth highest incidence of rape in the United States. “Sexual assaults on the female population has increased by 75% [in Fort Berthold Reservation.]”16 According to the Department of Justice, one in three American Indian women has been raped or experienced an attempted rape, and a mere 13 percent of sexual assaults reported by American Indian women end in an arrest. In Fort Berthold, at times, there are only two tribal officers on duty for the entire reservation and a part of the North Dakota Badlands.

- 20,600 gallons of oil spilled near Tioga, ND in September 29, 2013 Discovered by farmer Steven Jenson. Destroyed a surface area the size of seven football fields. Two years later nothing is growing there. 2006 pipeline spill near Charbonneau Creek in Northwest ND was first major recorded, since there have literally been thousands of spills. 2012-2013 more than 2.3 million gallons of saltwater spills recorded.

- A sample of water taken by my sister from Lake Sakakawea when they were out swimming in July. The ND state health department said it was a blue-green algae bloom and not to worry. Blue-green algae is toxic and should not be swam in nor drank, this was one mile from the city of New Town’s water intake plant.
- Million gallon plus oil spill that was discovered July 2014.
- Every day, more than 100 million cubic feet of natural gas is flared this way — enough energy to heat half a million homes for a day. The flared gas also spews at least two million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year, as much as 384,000 cars or a medium-size coal-fired power plant would emit. All told, 30 percent of the natural gas produced in North Dakota is burned as waste. No other major domestic oil field currently flares close to that much.
