UT, just to be argumentative... If by "natgas" you mean "natural gas" or methane,
so are 02 and CO2 (in high enough concentrations).

I was referring to the compounds they add to the fracking fluids,
such known carcinogens as benzene and s2-Butoxyethanol (2-BE)
(Scientific American. Nov 2011).
EPA found such chemicals in Wyoming aquifer-monitoring wells,
and did not find the sort of agricultural chemicals as insecticides or fertilizers.
