Best Answer

Hydraulic fracturing uses low concentrations of chemicals (some hazardous, some not). Usually the maximum concentration of any given chemical is 10-20 gallons per thousand gallons of fracturing fluid. It is true that a poor cement job or hole is the casing can cause water contamination but it is uncommon and current practices make it nearly impossible.
