Two 18-wheel tractor trailers carry fresh water to natural gas wells being fracked in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale. After injection into the wells at high pressure, wastewater returns to the surface and is either recycled and used to frack other wells, stored above ground, or injected in storage wells below ground. The wastewater typically contains numerous toxic chemicals used in the fracking process as well as natural contaminants, such as arsenic, radium and salts. Credit: Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images.
