• Fracking study finds low radium, raises salt concerns (spotlightpa.org) — Residents of New Freeport are reminded of a June 2022 gas well leak that contaminated the town's drinking water, as new research examines fracking's impact on private wells in southwestern Pennsylvania. The study found low radium levels in limited samples but raised concerns about salty groundwater, pipe corrosion, and the difficulty of tracing contamination in heavily drilled areas like Washington and Greene counties.
