"Thus radioactive radon gas, transported to North Texas homes, from Barnett Shale gas wells, almost next door, constitutes a significant ganger to the health of North Texans. Needless to say, this problem is being ignored gas companies, the governments of Texas, and the United States. Interestingly, it is also being ignored by critics of nuclear power who complain about the radiation dangers of nuclear power, but are unconcerned about the radiation associated with natural gas. How much is radon from natural gas effecting the health of Texans? No one knows."

I could take all day on a list that would shock you. What goes into our water, land and sky is amazing that we are still walking around. Radon is not only in Texas it is far north of the usa. People do not even know how much arsanic is in natural water. There are some elements that are natural in our water and earth that you can not believe, it is the levels and what people put in them is what makes it so dangerous. Most people can not even go into a cellar up north until it is tested.
