  • Looks like dust to me i guess dust is a very giant health hazard so don't drive don't go to a dsesert don't do anything become a mole.

  • @spellbiff How do you know so much about it?

    You seem pretty unconcerned about a chemical called biocide.

  • @ScottBrown666 At one particular frac, at most, there is biocide, friction reducer, hydrochloric acid, scale inhibitor, oxygen scavenger..sometimes wetting agents depending on the formation being fraced. The 50+ you are referring to might be all the chems used as a whole in the fracing process, but never that many per frac. Some are things like clay stabilizers, kcl substitute..etc. The most hazardous chem out there is biocide. and usually, it has spent itself up within 24-48 hours.

  • @spellbiff Well I looked around and it looks like there are over 50 chemicals, yet it also seems that the companies don't yet have to disclose what chemicals are in it. Do you work for a fracking company? or have sources?

    As for the older frackjobs, they didn't have to drill as far down as they are doing now, and there certainly seem to be at least a few cases of health hazards reported recently due to natural gas drilling. Check out Gasland. I don't think they faked flammable tapwater.

    LOL.

  • @tScottBrown777t there are only 4 to 5 chemicals TOPS!! usually 3, that are used on frac jobs. Only the biocide used is harmful to your skin. those biocides keep the srb's(sulfate reducing bacteria) from growing, and that keeps H2S from building. H2S happens when biocide isnt used. Besides, the Barnett Shale is sweet gas, If you wanna see H2S, go to West Texas. It has been there for 75 years, everyone is still ok..no health hazards reported yet. LOL

  • @SuperNk1978 Actually, that's not true. Fracking gives off more air pollution than cars. And that sand is mixed with a few hundred chemicals that you wouldn't want near you. And you definitely wouldn't want it leaking into your water supply.

  • YOU are an idiot...the majority of what you see is NOT emissions it is dust from very fine sand. You have to deal with more emissions driving down I-35 from those trucks and YOUR vehicle in a month than this...go plant an Oak tree, did you know a large Oak tree can filter as much 50 million tons of waste in a lifetime?
