Over 600 chemicals and other minerals are used in fracking fluid, - TopicsExpress



          

Over 600 chemicals and other minerals are used in fracking fluid, among them known carcinogens such as uranium, mercury and lead. The Energy Policy Act, however, allows companies to keep secret the identity of chemicals they use in their fracking operations thus making it almost impossible to know the origin of the components of that chemical brew that seeps into your groundwater. It also keeps hidden the disastrous effects of the mining of these chemicals on small communities around the world. This law follows faithfully one of the guiding principles of our industrial civilization -- that producer and consumer should have nothing to do with one another. huffingtonpost/tobias-roberts/the-other-side-of-fracking_b_5476952.html
