Small towns in the #PermianBasin have become a petri dish for the perils of living amid the nation’s largest #OilFields.Jerry Redfern September 15, 2026
Excerpt: "Among various forms of air pollution, the monitoring station measured #radon and the particles that form from its decay. Data in the study showed airborne radiation levels in #LovingNM rising up to five times normal background levels, depending on wind direction.
"Since all readings were taken in one spot, the report’s authors said they could not tie the radiation to a single source. But they pointed to the area’s intense #OilAndGas development, which they said highlights the need for follow-up studies.
"Detlev Helmig, an atmospheric scientist with air quality program Boulder AIR, said,
'The analyses of our monitoring data provide evidence that oil and gas operations in the Loving area are a likely source of atmospheric releases of #radioactivity.' Helmig was an author on the study and helped set up and manage the original monitoring station in Loving."This small town in the Permian Basin is a petri dish for the perils of living amid the oil and gas industry’s most productive oil fields. Hundreds of active oil wells lie within two miles of Loving and another dozen large processing facilities sit within the same sweep. The smell of raw #hydrocarbons regularly fills the hazy air.
'It’s pollution,' said Jackie Onsurez, a Loving resident who ran in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor. 'You don’t have to be a scientist to wake up and see it’s brown and it’s not dirt.'"The study says radiation sources include oil and gas industry emissions 'such as #GasFlares at active well pads, gas-fired compressors at midstream sites, and produced water ponds.'

LIVE: #WesternMiningActionNetwork in #Montreal
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews
November 14, 2024MONTREAL -- "The Western Mining Action Network is meeting today in Montreal, with speakers from the network's #IndigenousCaucus speaking on the #NuclearFuelChain, defending the water and land, and the rights stated in the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Peoples [#UNDIP].
The Deadly Nuclear Fuel Chain
"#PetuucheGilbert, #AcomaPueblo, said there should be more concern over the #NuclearFuel chain, #radiation and #UraniumMining. The nuclear fuel chain includes the making of the #AtomicBomb, and the #NuclearWaste from #SpentFuelRods in #NuclearPowerPlants.
"In his homeland, in the Grants mining district in #NewMexico, the abandoned #UraniumMines are #radioactive hazards affecting the water, air and the animals on the ground.
"Nearby on the #NavajoNation, there are more than 500 abandoned uranium mines and there are massive #UraniumMill waste sites, where the ore was processed. These all emit #RadonGas. He pointed out that the #McArthurRiver, #KeyLakeUranium Mine and mill in northern #Saskatchewan, Canada is the world's largest uranium mine and mill.
"Petuuche said he believes that the cancers now that the people in his area are suffering from are a result of radioactivity. There was also the atomic bomb testing in Nevada. All of that radioactivity spread over the entire United States. #Downwinders breathing the radioactivity in the air are also radiation victims."
