    Fracking fluid contains over 600 chemicals including carcinogens like lead and uranium, and only 30-50% is reabsorbed after fracking, contaminating underground drinking water sources. While fracking reduces dependence on foreign oil and provides economic benefits, it can contaminate groundwater and air, with documented cases of contaminated water causing health issues. Fracturing shale may also cause increased seismic activity.

    The Facts about Fracking

    Fracking fluid contains


    over 600 different
    chemicals including
    known carcinogens such
    as lead and uranium.
    Only about 30%-50% or
    fracking fluid is
    reabsorbed, the rest is
    left underground where
    it can contaminate
    drinking water sources

    The Pro's and Cons


    Pro's
    Reduced dependence on
    foreign oil
    Clean fossil fuel
    Economic Renewal and
    Lower Energy Costs
    Con's
    Ground Water and Air
    Contamination
    There are documented
    cases of contaminated
    water causing sensory,
    respiratory, and
    neurological damage when
    ingested.
    Fracturing shale could make
    plates unstable leading to
    more earthquakes
