Radioactive oil and gas waste moves through Pennsylvania communities every day — and few people know where it goes, how it travels, or whether it carries the proper label.
In this webinar, Physicians for Social Responsibility Pennsylvania (PSR PA) and Protect PT walked through their new watchdog guide and showed how anyone can keep watch where they live.
