I don’t think this is the entire list of chemicals because there is no breaker (Breakers may contain hazardous constituents, including ammonium persulfate, ammonium sulphate, copper compounds, ethylene glycol, and glycol ethers).
These are the chemicals that will be only feet away from the residents near the Rayzor well. Here’s a little overview but you really need to read each MSDS sheet in it’s entirety.

Petroleum distillates are hydrocarbon solvents. The aliphatic petroleum naptha is also a petroleum distillate. Petroleum distillates are the eye/nose/throat irritants, and some are suspected carcinogens, etc. Contain VOCs – probably all BTEX – benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene.
GEL-STA L STABILIZER, Sodium thiosulfate
