Toxic Contamination From Natural Gas Wells

The New York Times collected data from more than 200 natural gas

wells in Pennsylvania. Many of them are tapping into the Marcellus Shale,

a vast underground rock formation. But a method being used to stimulate

wells, called hydraulic fracturing, produces wastewater containing

corrosive salts and radioactive and carcinogenic materials. In

Pennsylvania, this wastewater has been sent through sewage treatment

plants that cannot remove some of the contaminants before the water is

discharged into rivers and streams that provide drinking water. The Times

was able to map 149 of the wells.

This is also where those videos on youtube were done where they turn on the tap water and set it afire!
