Fracking chemicals

Here is a posting listing all the chemicals used in the fracking process they are using all over the country, including Northern Michigan. We have been trying to find that list for a while so it's nice some one did. It is truly sickening. jaime

Frac Water Chemicals Chemical Components (From MSDS)

You can look these chemicals up in the MSDS database.

UPDATE: You can read what these chemicals do to you here. (Thank you, Barbara!)

WARNING: not for the faint of heart!

As time allows, I'll be looking these up and linking them to my findings.

Subd. 14. Diesel fuel oil. "Diesel fuel oil" means a petroleum distillate or blend of
petroleum distillate and residual fuels that is intended for use as a motor fuel in internal
combustion diesel engines and that meets ASTM specification D975-06b D975-07b.

2,2-Dibromo-3-Nitrilopropionamide
Polyethylene Glycol Mixture
Mesh Sand (Crystalline Silica

Here's a link to a list

Oh! And, since pesticides are listed, how does that work with the whole land-farming scam deal? The story about land-farming is that in a few months the organisms will eat all the harmful chemicals left in the drilling mud/flow-back gunk. Wouldn't the pesticides kill the organisms?
