Landfills across Pennsylvania take in radioactive fracking waste, and it’s not just in Pennsylvania either. The leachate produced at these landfills is harmful and raises important questions for communities bearing the risks.
This webinar will help answer the question-- How can regulators better protect communities.
A line up of expert presenters from different organizations will present on the science, health impacts, a Pennsylvania case study, and highlight resources needed to push back on fracking waste.
The Halt the Harm Network and Pennsylvania Sierra Club are also hosting this event.
