Study Finds Low Radium but Higher Salinity Near Pennsylvania Fracking Sites

Original: # Pennsylvanie # USA # US Study of Groundwater Near Fracking Sites Finds Low Radium Levels, but Raises Concerns About In

A US study of groundwater near fracking sites in western Pennsylvania found radium levels were low, but researchers raised concerns about increased salinity in the water. They noted that the region's long history of industrial activity makes it difficult to isolate the effects of fracking on water quality, complicating efforts to draw firm conclusions.

Why now: Ongoing public concern about fracking's impact on drinking water in Pennsylvania
