Natural gas, Petrol, Coal, and Gasoline is used in a very wide variety of applications in industry, commercial, residential, and construction. Natural gas is extracted from the earth through a process called Hydraulic Fracturing. Hydraulic Fracturing (Fracking)
is a very controversial process because is emits tons of pollution severely affecting the environment.The process uses millions of gallons of water which is combined with chemicals like hydrochloric acid, formic acid, Benzene, a
Carcinogen , methanol, ammonium persulfate, glutaraldrehyde and
750 other chemicals chemicals to create
Fracking Fluid. This fracking fluid contains acids to dissolve rock to bacteria killing chemicals to kill bacteria living in the shale. In addition, this fracking chemical mix contaminates water that GETS SENT TO PEOPLES HOMES. Therefore, they are sent colossal water containers by the fracking companies because the municipal water supplies get contaminated. Furthermore, residents who live next to these rigs are at risk to many health problems from exposure to Radium which is highly unstable and radioactive. Radium escapes these wells and winds up in the air residents near the fracking wells breathe. In addition, the residents get cancer from all the toxic chemicals in the fracking fluid.
