New Fears Over Fracking Groundwater Contamination
It
is found that high concentrations of salts, including those of radium
and barium, are present in the flowback waters from late-end fracking
operations, lending fears over potential groundwater contamination. The
amounts of the various salts are greater than those in the water-mix
used in the fracking operation, and their specific concentrations are
consistent as having arisen from an underground aquifer that was
set-down during the Paleozoic era. Hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") is
the process whereby gas and oil is made to flow from impermeable…Read more...http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/New-Fears-Over-Fracking-Groundwater-Contamination.html
