I was seeing if there were any new news on the water contamination in Duncan, Oklahoma. I didn't find any developing stories but i did find an article that got me thinking.
Russell Wilkerson wonders
"whether his wife's parathyroid disease could be traced back to years of drinking their contaminated well water"
Since the work to remove and burn spent missile fuel contained in missile casings ended in 1991 in Duncan's north side, where the contaminated wells are located.
When I read that section of the article, I began to wonder how these people fell victim to this water contamination. To get an idea of how big the contamination is, a level of 16 parts per billion is considered an alarming rate, but in one family's water well, perchlorate was found at 30,000 parts per billion.

Halliburton is taking action though, they've begun connecting rural water lines for affected homes and is working with the city to install a water for other homes. They clearly are owning up to their wrong doings.
If you think Halliburton isn't doing enough, don't hesitate to do something about it.
