Two 18-wheel tractor trailers carry fresh water to natural gas wells being fracked in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale.

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.
