Waste disposal facilities in the area are insufficient. Thus, there is indiscriminate disposal of waste materials, which in turn degrades the environment. Over time, PTEs from waste materials get into the water cycle and accumulate, leading to the contamination of water resources in this region. ...

Oil-and-gas waste pits like this one in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, vent radioactive radon gas, the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. Two recent studies show elevated levels of radon in homes near fracking operations. Photo credit: Joshua B. Pribanic/”Public Herald...
Fly ash introduced into the environment, whether through reuse, large accidental release, or smaller-scale aeolian or surface water erosion from stored waste, will undergo weathering reactions that may liberate PTEs. Several studies examining large-scale accidental releases from stored CCPs have demonstra...
