Pennsylvania Regulators Won’t Say Where 66% of Landfill Leachate w/ Radioactive Material From Fracking is Going… “It’s Private” August 5, 2020
Public Herald
Laura Dagley, the Medical Advocacy Coordinator for Physicians for Social Responsibility Pennsylvania (PSR), spoke to DOH Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine after Shapiro’s Grand Jury announcement. Dagley told Public Herald the DOH isn’t targeting TENORM during their study. “We have urged the DOH to address this current health threat with a sense of urgency to protect Pennsylvanians,” Dagley stated. “While the DOH has announced a three-year investigation into the increased cancer cases in the region, they have decided to exclude any analysis of radioactivity.”
