You will not find these chemicals in your irrigation water, bio diverse ecosystems or in your drinking water. Not unless you drink your mopping bucket water, grey water from your dishes washed or celebrate your investigative journalism with a shot of antifreeze;). These CBM/CSG companies are committing ecocide, a crime against humanity and the planet.
