A new study finds radium is bioaccumulating in mussels in streams near fracking fields in Pennsylvania. The waste effluent produced by fracking operations is rich in radioactive materials including radium. It is harmful to the mussels and accumulates up the food chain, leading to us. The mussels are sentinels of the radioactive legacy of the fossil fuel industry, which actually produces more radioactive waste than the nuclear industry #clamFacts
