Fracking Creates Massive Radiation Waste Problem
The EPA openly acknowledges that fracking fluid contains “thousands
of chemicals,” but nowhere is there mention of radioactivity in its risk
assessments. Now, a new study reveals the “natural gas” industry may be
hiding a secret as dark and deadly as the one the nuclear industry has
been trying to conceal for decades.
With recent news
that California’s fracking industry will be “repurposing” its toxic
wastewater to meet the needs of an agricultural industry driven
desperate by the drought, a timely new study published in Environmental Health Perspectives reveals fracking wastewater is not just a source of dangerous petrochemicals but also a highly toxic form of radioactive waste.
