Matrix Complications in the Determination of Radium Levels in Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback Water Fracturing Flowback Water from Marcellus Shale
Although not strong enough to cause acute radio toxicity, flowback water can overwhelm wastewater treatment plants giving rise to radioactive contamination downstream. By Andrew W. Nelson, Dustin May, Andrew W. Knight, Eric S. Eitrheim, Marinea Mehrhoff, Robert Shannon, Robert Litman, and Michael K. Schultz, published by Environmental Science & Technology Letters, February, 2014.

Consideration of Radiation in Hazardous Waste Produced From Hydraulic Fracturing
“The type of radioactive material found in the Marcellus Shale and
brought to the surface by horizontal hydrofracking is the type that is
particularly long-lived, and could easily bioaccumulate over time and deliver a dangerous radiation dose to potentially millions of people long after the drilling is over.” Report of E. Ivan White, Staff Scientist for the National Council on Radiation Protection. October 2012.
