Thanks Adam, for this information, and Steve for the additional info. Drilling for natural gas has begun in my area. There’s a gas well less than a mile from my home and more planned within a few hundred feet. I’ll be sharing this information with my neighbors. Do either of you know how I can find out if these companies near me are taking necessary precautions?

Hello Adam, thanks for this information. I work with oil companies that use chemicals for oil removal but I have not worked with natural gas people. The oil and natural gas people are suppose to use environmental safe products, but some people don’t want to operate by the rules. Sooner or later they will be caught, but look what they have done to damage the water shed and environment.
2-Butoxy Ethanol, Glycol Ether EB, is a hazardous chemical and is reportable under Sara 313, the Community Right to Know Act. EB attacks the blood stream and can cause major problems with the liver and circulatory system.
Some people are just plain stupid and should be held accountable for using this type material for chemicals being injected into the ground. This makes people think that all chemical companies are like this.
Chemically Green does not use Glycol Eb or any Glycol Ethers in any of our Chemically Green products.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Steve Mason
