Pennsylvania’s Department of Environmental Protection released a two‑year study of 49 landfills, including 23 that received oil‑and‑gas waste, and concluded that current landfill leachate poses no immediate radiation risk to human health. The analysis found 11 sites exceeded EPA radium‑226/228 drinking‑water limits, though none breached the higher NRC wastewater standard, and there was no link between exceedances and fracking waste. Researchers caution the report is interim, citing limited sample size and the absence of leachate‑specific standards. Officials note the earlier radium‑testing rule has yet to be enforced, leaving a regulatory gap.
