Out west, apparently the gas companies have created large pits to store the waste water in. Here, in PA, they are burying the waste water in very large bags. Anyway, what they found out west was that the waste water in these open pits was evaporating and along with it went the benzene. Folks living nearby have been breathing this and many are now developing brain lesions and other neurological problems as well as losing their sense of taste. It really IS a scary thing for those of us living near where these gas wells are going in all over the place. Michelle
