You will notice the above article didn't list the proportion of companies that use sodium and citrus vs those who use others. Its also misleading, to date, Haliburton is just about the only major company that has gotten away with refusing to tell the EPA whats in their mixture-and thats mainly because Haliburton has close ties within the government, including several government contracts. Everyone else, while they dont necessarily have to list the exact quantities, do have to tell the EPA whats in them. Companies such as BP, Anadarko, Chesapeake energy, and other major players, are very closely monitored. Sure, they each have their own reciple-which theyre not going to release to anyone, including the above "commitee" without a subpeona, but you can rest assured theyre EPA approved.  And even the chemicals that arnt 100% friendly, there has been no conclusive evidence that it can seep through rock layers into ground water, at least not with water and oil wells. There have been some evidence of methane gas getting into ground water, but that even predated fracking, so it can be difficult to blame fracking for that.
