Analysis of Marcellus Flow-back Finds High Levels of Ancient Brines
(Maybe there's a darn good reason this is buried 8,000 feet below the earth's surface.)
Rose said the naturally occurring radioactive materials being brought to the surface after having been 8,000 feet deep were deposited with formations in that era. He noted that while much attention has been focused on the chemicals that are injected into the shale formation during the fracking process, also of concern is the release of elements such as barium and radium that have been in the ground for millions of years.
