Episode 17: How does fracking wastewater threaten our health and the environment? w/Dr. Cozzarelli
Millions of barrels of flowback and produced water, laden with toxic chemicals, come to the surface during oil and gas production.
Dr. Isabelle Cozzarelli, Research Hydrologist in the USGS National Research Program, describes the wastewater cycle from fracking to disposal including risks to human and environmental health, and invites nonprofit organizations to contribute to discussions on current wastewater issues.
