Radioactive Road Salt

Toxic, radioactive frack waste fluids, oil and gas brine, which are very costly for oil and gas producers to dispose of, now become radioactive road salt. The common method of disposal is to inject it underground. (2018 Injected State Totals) Update coming soon.
The newest spin from the oil and gas industry is to convince the public it is safe to spread frack waste from Clinton gas wells on our roads as a deicer. A company in Ohio actually started to produce and sell this new "waste to commodity" product.

Introducing
Aqua Salina

Sold for use as a road de-icer.
Sold in hardware stores in a handy 2 gallon take home bottle.
Is this a good idea? At first seemed so. Then the Ohio Department of Health and Ohio Department of Natural Resources tested samples from stores and at the processing plant. Radioactive Road Salt in liquid for.

Samples of Aqua Salina bought right off the shelf ranged as high as 500 times background radiation in Radium-226 and -228. The average of the samples tested by ODNR were 300 times federal drinking water limits for Radium-226. Read the lab results below.
