Full Disclosure of Fracking Chemicals
 

Given the latest scientific studies that attribute certain illnesses in humans and livestock to contaminated water from hydrofacking, it is imperative from a public health perspective for companies to fully disclose the chemicals used in the process. When toxic materials are used where humans and other animals obtain their water, the industry has no right to employ a "trade secret" tactic. Please stand up for what is right and just, not what lines the pockets of a few at the expense of many.
