It removes radiation, fluoride, salt, pesticides, bacteria, dirt and other contaminants from any water. It aids people to be prepared for disasters, saves hundreds on bottled water and utility bills. Made tough in the U.S.A. Please visit us: http://freshwater.ecogreenenergies.com These units can also be placed together in arrays of literally any size, as needed, to accommodate a desert vegetable farm or remote area water needs, etc. Remove radiation from any water source

The "radon-releasing" shale is several THOUSAND feet down. Typical water well drilling depth in West Virginia is a mere 200 feet. I postulate that drilling to 200 feet does not disturb the shale. .

Testing done so far has been limited as to what is looked for in the water, but it has already established that most water wells in the county are contaminated. The well on our property, drilled 420 feet deep about 40 years ago, is contaminated. The well is abandoned and we use a cistern. The testing should be periodic and mandatory for all wells supplying water for human consumption and it should be made increasingly comprehensive as new research brings to light health-hazardous substances previously neglected.

These are separated from the drilling mud and must be disposed of, somewhere, usually to a landfill. These cuttings are known to contain some radioactive solids, some more and some less. And even dirty water from the drilling process can contain enough fine particulates to show radioactivity if a detector is present. Seems to me that it is prudent to monitor such liquids and solids for radiation exposures.

Radon's release can be accelerated by disturbing of the shale. Water well drilling is one such disturbance. Shoulldn't there be outrage over drilling water wells?
