Pollutants linked to ‘fracking’ found in Wyoming groundwater by Zack Colman, September 27, 2012, The Hill
Chemicals linked to hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” have been found again in the groundwater of a town in Wyoming that has become a flashpoint in the debate over the drilling practice. … Alisha Johnson, a spokeswoman with the EPA, told The Hill that the USGS findings are “generally consistent” with EPA’s earlier tests.  … The natural-gas industry has said fracking is safe, and says studies linking it to groundwater contamination and seismic activity are false.
