Are You Aware Of Fracking.? It Is Very Close To You.

FRACKING :

The most obvious question in your mind at this time would be of course, What is The fracking ? It is a process of drilling for natural gas,also known as hydraulic fracturing(fracking or fracing).

.Fracking is a technique used to extract natural gas from shale beneath the earths surface. Communities are increasingly concerned about fracking polluting public water systems and the environment, when the chemicals leak into aquifers, rivers, streams and the atmosphere. The other side of fracking what it might do to the food eaten by people living hundreds of miles from the nearest gas well  has received little attention.For sustainable agriculture, fracking is a disaster.

While the oil/gas industry has denied any problem, there is mounting evidence that public water systems and private wells are being polluted in areas around the drilling sites.Presently, the natural gas industry does not have to disclose the chemicals used, but scientists have identified known carcinogens and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene.
