Chemists at the University of Toledo (Ohio, USA) discovered the presence of environmental contaminants in fracking wastewater.
Drilling operations to extract fuel sources (natural gas and oil) not only use treated water, but also add publicly undisclosed additives to facilitate the drilling process.
Fracking wastewater can resurface or mix with groundwater, causing a variety of health problems ranging from respiratory irritation to deadly cancer.
Among the various dissolved organic compounds, atrazine is a pesticide that causes respiratory and eye irritation.
Another chemical, pyridine, mediates liver damage, while polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been linked to liver, stomach, skin, lung, and bladder cancers.
Using a novel polymer developed at the same institute, the chemists identified hazardous metals, selenium and rare earth metals in wastewater.
