Did they test for these chemicals before? Post hoc ergo proctor hoc?

Apparently at least some did according to the article I quoted. And there
is the issue that if someone has lived on a farm for years or decades
without trouble with their water and suddenly after fracking in their area
their water is unusable that would seem to point to the fracking as the
source of the problem. Even Texas now requires companies to disclose their
fracking formulas (with a predictable proprietary loophole) so concerns over
fracking are not confined to tree-hugging eco-loonies.
