Hydraulic
fracturing
is
a
process
used
in
nine
out
of
10
natural
gas
wells
in
the
United
States,
where
millions
of
gallons
of
water,
sand
and
chemicals
are
pumped
underground
to
break
apart
the
rock
and
release
the
gas.
Scientists
are
worried
that
the
chemicals
used
in
fracturing
may
pose
a
threat
either
underground
or
when
waste
fluids
are
handled
and
sometimes
spilled
on
the
surface.
