This sounds like a business opportunity for companies in Ohio who have experience with treating
wastewater - the technology is out there, it's just waiting for entrepreneurs.

I've been wondering if there is info available that actually lists all of the chemicals used in frack water,
and a list of the heavy metals that come out of the ground.  If they are present in sufficient amounts,
perhaps they could be collected for use in industry(?)
