Attached are two fraccing chemical lists. The first list is from a document APPEA published. The second list is a document obtained from the Queensland government that in turn is from QGC
One of the key things that capture my attention are the differences in the confidential QGC document from within the Queensland government and the version published by QGC.
Following is a quick list of chemicals listed on the internal government document that are missing on the QGC public document:
