What about the other pollutants dumped by fracking?

(But I haven't checked if there are others.) Don't forget these chemicals are injected deep underground, so unlike lighter-than-air methane they won't easily get to water. (PS. It's not "dumping" if you are actively using them. Dumping is the waste you don't need, no need for inaccurate emotive language.)
