Not to step on your thread Prof but it's reaching the status of "TL DNR" and I wanted todays development to be fresh news.

"EPA regional administrator, Shawn Garvin, said in a letter to Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection on Monday[March 7th] that it was concerned about the potential for harm to human health and the aquatic environment.

"Many of these substances are not completely removed by wastewater treatment facilities, and their discharge may cause or contribute to impaired drinking water quality for downstream users, or harm aquatic life," Garvin wrote.

He said Pennsylvania's drinking water utilities should start sampling immediately for radium, a naturally existing radioactive substance sometimes found in drilling water prior to treatment. Similar testing should be required at the treatment plants handling the waste, he said."

WHAT...they haven't tested for radium before now? You have to be kidding. Full article:
