Ohio org aims to stop fracking under our pristine state parks and public lands. Help protect our natural resources for future generations. Join us. Act.
Mitigation systems merely vent radon outside, into the air.

Annie Cacciato of Newark, Ohio never smoked, yet died of lung cancer in 2021.

The cause was elevated radon. Newark has the highest concentration of radon nationwide.

Scroll for your radon level by zip code, city or county.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

Radon causes 2,500+ Ohio lung cancer deaths each year.
Radon is caused as radium decomposes.
Radium comes to the surface with oil and gas during fracking.

Ohio Oil and Gas-- why refuse to comment in @maxfilby.dispatch.com series? bit.ly/48crfQ8

Does fracking cause higher radon levels in nearby homes? What the research shows
A possible correlation between fracking and radon has been studied several times, but whether there's a link remains an unanswered question.
