The methane they release is a major contributor to climate change, is extremely flammable and is a harmful air pollutant. Breathing air polluted with the components of natural gas is hazardous to human health.  Natural gas contains other chemicals aside from methane, including respiratory toxins and cancer-causing compounds.
