Oil Worker Says Fracking Waste Eroded His Jaw

My dad worked with fracking years ago. I have often wondered if that was the cause of the cancer that killed him. He always wore one of those badges for radioactive detection. He did that for over 30 years.

@cosmiclibrarian :( so sorry to hear

My father, my uncle, and my grandfather all worked in the oil fields in south Texas. All three ended up with cancer...which no one in my family ever had previously.

Oil drilling and fracking are much worse than anyone knows, and they're ramping up production due to Iran right now. Trump has lessened environmental protections too.
