Conservative estimates are
that over 10,000 people die every
Year because of Radon Gas associated
with Fracking. You can sue the companies and they will pay but they will want a
gagging order.
The real number of deaths is
going to be much higher when you consider the fracking companies all flout the
law about “Hamat” or Hazardous chemicals.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
radon presents a high risk of developing lung cancer. About 21,000 deaths from
lung cancer linked to inhalation of radon gas occur each year
Radon is released with methane during the extraction process of
hydrofracking. This is true wherever fracking is done.
The shale and gas in the Marcellus areas of
Pennsylvania has proven to be more highly radioactive than other, more
distant shale plays, which have previously supplied New
York’s gas. Radon is more of a concern the closer the supply, because there is
less time for the radioactivity to dissipate. It is estimated that gas
from Pennsylvania would travel to NYC within one day’s time. During
winter months, when demand is higher, gas is delivered faster, and, with
apartment windows tending to be closed, the risk would be even greater.

These are the facts that are
denied by the Fracking companies and people who think they are gaining from
this.
Many animals and other life
forms are also dying and this can now be described as a worse ecological
disaster than the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs.
The cause of it is
Greed.
