Annie Cacciato of Newark, Ohio never smoked, yet died of lung cancer in 2021.

The cause was elevated radon. Newark has the highest concentration of radon nationwide.

Scroll for your radon level by zip code, city or county.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.

The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.

It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.

Textbook corporate greed.

Radon causes 2,500+ Ohio lung cancer deaths each year.
Radon is caused as radium decomposes.
Radium comes to the surface with oil and gas during fracking.

A possible correlation between fracking and radon has been studied several times, but whether there's a link remains an unanswered question.

Hey Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Ohio Department of Health, and Governor Mike DeWine: Where is the study of health effects of fracking in Ohio?? Just because you refuse to study it does not mean it doesn't exist.
@saveohioparks.bsky.social
🧪 NEW STUDY:

14% of Americans (46.6 million people) live within one mile of at least one piece of fossil fuel infrastructure across all stages of the supply chain.

This proximity is known to cause health harms.
