Except for the fracking fluid manufacturers, no one knows what's in that stuff - which is a huge problem because there could be anything in it.

What are the chemicals used by major gas companies in fracking?
During Hydrolic Fracturing or (fracking), the chemicals and substances used are, diesel fuel; Benzene; Ethylbenzene; Toluene; Xylene; Naphthalene; Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons; Methanol; Formaldehyde; Ethylene glycol; Glycol ethers; Hydrochloric acid; and Sodium Hydroxide
How can fracking impact the abiotic parts of an ecosystem?
The abiotic factors of the ecosystem include things like the dirt, water, and air. Fracking is a procedure that uses numerous chemicals to release buried shale gas. It is possible that the chemicals used will contaminate the abiotic factors making it impossible for wildlife to survive in these areas.
What is the practice of injecting water and chemicals into underground rock called?
Fracking is the practice of injecting water and chemicals into underground rock.
How will natural gas be harnessed in the Marcellus Shale?

What is fracking used for?
Fracking is a way of obtaining gas from rocks underground
What can fracking do to you?
Fracking has been killing animals and could end up killing us. also the chemicals from it going into our drinking water and can make us really poorly
What is lancashire fracking?
the fracking of gas, pumping water and chemicals underground to release natural gas. Gas obtained through gas fracking is known as unconventional gas. A lot of controversy surrounds the topic, which has been known to have several ecological impacts, such as the possible contamination of groundwater and even miniature earthquakes (such as occured in Blackpool).
Are fracking executives and scientists willing to have themselves and their families drink ground water in fracked areas?
Executives and scientists have never really discussed if they have their family drinking the water in the fracked areas.
What is a mining technique that is used to access reserves of natural gas?
fracking
What economic activities are associated with man-made earthquakes in Oklahoma?
Something called fracking is causing earthquakes. Fracking is a way to remove oil and natural gas from underground. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking (a drilling process that injects millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into a well, cracking the rock and to release natural gas and oil) is sometimes the cause of earthquakes.
Where is fracking locate?
Fracking is done all over the world.
What can causes malformation of an embryo or fetus?
Glycol Ethers that are used in fracking-Trevor
How come people stil have water when fracking uses to much?
Fracking (hydraulic fracturing of hydrocarbon producing formations) is objected to because if creates uncontrolled interconnections between various strata of the rock below ground. These interconnections can allow chemicals in the fracking fluids, hydrocarbons (gas and oil), salt water or sulphidic water to migrate from the producing formations to porable water horizons and interfere with the quality of water used for human consumption, livestock or agriculture. While the amount of water used is considerable compared to individual use it is in line with many other industrial uses and even golf courses. Fracking does not seriously deplete the water supply except in areas with a pre-existing tight water supply.
