Fracking Chemicals: Disclosure and Human Safety
 

Countless reports of water contamination from several states and one confirmed earthquake have been directly related to the fracking technique and chemicals used for the last ten years. If we continue to proceed too fast without full disclosure of chemical agents used and without  thorough scientific studies of the effects these chemicals have in man and animals just as the FDA evaluates the prescription drugs we consume, we may appear to be as nothing more but greedy fools who have no wisdom.
