What are common causes of water contamination caused by fracking?
Hydraulic fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, involves pumping water 10,000 feet underground to extract oil and gas trapped deep underground. The water used for fracking is mixed with hundreds of chemical additives. These chemicals include a long list of harmful materials, including but not limited to:
- Lead
- Uranium
- Mercury
- Hydrochloric acid
- Formaldehyde
- Methanol
When this water returns to the surface, some of the liquid may contain:
- Heavy metals
- Low-level radiation
- Drilling chemicals
- High levels of salt
What drilling companies don't want you to know about water contamination
Negligent drilling is another factor linked to water contamination. In some cases, water contamination problems can be traced back to drill rig workers who failed to operate a drill properly or did not perform the required maintenance to keep a drill operating in a safe, reliable manner. Drilling companies might provide excuses, but the bottom line is drilling companies have a responsibility to hire drill rig workers who know how to operate a drill safely and who do not put their co-workers or the public at risk.
