Across #Texas and #Oklahoma, journalist Saul Elbein says #fracking companies have been spreading their potentially #radioactive, #PFAS filled solid waste on farmland and near communities, largely without scrutiny, for decades.
Saul sees this as a modern-day #SilentSpring: a slow-moving, mostly invisible contamination story hiding in plain sight, one that will only become undeniable once until the damage is already done.

September 27, 1962

Rachel Carson's book indicting the pesticide industry, Silent Spring, was published.

The scientist (17 years with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) and writer demonstrated the connection between the excessive and ubiquitous use of DDT and its long-term effect on plants and animals.

The impact of her book proved seminal to a new ecological awareness. But even 30 years later, Carson was denounced for “preservationist hysteria” and “bad science.” But she had said when the book was published: "We do not ask that all chemicals be abandoned. We ask moderation. We ask the use of other methods less harmful to our environment."
