WE DON'T SUPPORT DRILLING IN THE MARCELLUS SHALE



Most against hydrofracking say this because of the probability that miniature underground explosions may occur. __With this, the fracturing rocks may release radioactive gases that cause these explosions and other toxic substances (frack fluid) that lay within the earth’s depths to harm others.__

The chemicals to help drilling are conductive of dangerous compounds including butoxyethanol acid, sodium hydroxide, formaldehyde, ethylene glycol, glycol ethers, hydrochloric acid and benzene- all harmful compounds that have a high chance of negatively impacting the health risk of many. -[|find out more]

Scientists have identified that many of these chemicals are toxic volatile organic compounds.

More than half of the fracking fluid remains in the ground after drilling and extraction.

Whatever is recovered is pumped into holding ponds on the surface and then __transported over the roads to waste-water facilities__. -[|find out more]
