Here is a prime example of how big business is dictating policy under the cloak of the law. You better hope fracking doesn't come to a neighborhood near you.
The reason for the confidentiality agreement is because the "recipe" for those fluids is proprietary information that the company may have developed over many years. It's not about hiding information from the public but hiding information from their competitors. The analogy I often use is it would be like requiring Microsoft to release their source code just because the potential exists they might be doing something they shouldn't be, that would an enormous benefit to their competitors.
The companies have to list what chemicals they are using on site, they don't have to provide quantities and the specific ones used in the fracking fluid. Having said that most if not all of the drillers have publicly released what they use in the fluids.
"Determined to understand the illnesses, Pare went last May to the Motens' neighborhood to collect urine samples from a dozen people. To her dismay, she found chemicals not normally present in the human body: hippuric acid, phenol, mandelic acid.
The Motens and their neighbors suspect their ailments could be tied to the natural gas well. Pare says she is not sure what is causing their problems. But she worries that she may have a hard time determining the exact cause because of a provision in a new Pennsylvania law regulating natural gas production."
When is a "recipe" more important than the welfare of humans? MS code has not killed or sickened anybody. We have all seen the videos of people with flammable water in areas that were subject to fracking. There is no doubt that fracking is a dangerous practice and big business is doing their very best to hide it from the public.

When did we become a guilt, before innocent nation? You have provided nothing at all to indicate the welfare of the individuals in question are become of this. Sure sounds like you pronounced guilt, and then tried to post some babble to support it.
