On every fracking site‚ 8 million gallons of water and 40‚000 gallons of chemicals are used each day. In addition‚ these chemicals are injected 10‚000 feet into the ground. This interesting statistic calls attention to the dangers of contamination and pollution that fracking brings to local communities and residents. A PhD recipient from Duke University‚ Dr.Richard Anderson‚ claims that the federal government needs to have certain limitations on national fracking protocol. Otherwise‚ he argues greater
