ABSTRACT
By-products of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) generate huge volumes of waste water at gas well sites. Both organic and inorganic contaminants are present in this water. All of this water must be properly analyzed to ensure that no harmful substances are released back into the ecosystem. Sensitive and more efficient methods are necessary to analyze the large number of waste water samples from these fracking locations, which grow in number each year. Accelerated plasma source spectroscopic techniques used to analyze the fracking waste water samples will be explored.
