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.'

#Oligarch linked to bribery paid #PrinceAndrew £15m for mansion
James Oliver, Will Dahlgreen and
Andy Verity,"#AndrewMountbattenWindsor received millions of pounds from an oligarch using funds from a firm implicated in criminal corruption, a BBC investigation has found.
"#Kazakh #billionaire #TimurKulibayev has told the BBC through his lawyers that he used a loan from a company called #EnviroPacific Investments to help him buy Andrew's former mansion.
"Prosecutors in Italy concluded that the firm had received cash from a bribery scheme in 2007.
"Weeks after the last of these payments was made, the oligarch bought #SunninghillPark in Berkshire from the then prince for £15m - with the help of funds from Enviro Pacific.
"Kulibayev is the son-in-law of Kazakhstan's then-president and was one of the most influential officials in the central Asian country's #OilAndGas industry. The BBC has also learned that, in another case, an Italian businessman pleaded guilty to bribing the oligarch."
