I realize other countries could care less about the environment, and will just do whatever they feel like to get the job done, unfortunately.
Have you ever used the fracfocus.ca website? It's surprisingly easy to find out exactly what chemicals are being used in what concentrations at any fracking site anywhere in Alberta. I've used it to keep tabs on the fracking operations on my parents' farm. From my perspective it's hard to imagine the industry being more transparent than this.

oops, I just noticed Robbob mentioned fracfocus just two posts above. Anyway, just on a personal level I've found it really useful.
