Did you know that when a bore water hole is drilled
the water has to be tested for chemicals?

yes. I posted that yesterday.

I heard a rumour that half of all Australian water is not fit for drinking due to chemicals in it -
the usual culprit is natural Uranium.

And yet people do and they don't suffer radiation sickness. Dosage of course. Wink

I wouldn't want to drink water with any Uranium in it.

Apparently our bodies can get rid of nano gram amounts of Uranium.
It is a heavy metal though so it does more damage
than just it's radioactive loading.

"The lethal effects of inhalation exposure to uranium have been investigated in humans in epidemiological studies and in animal studies under controlled conditions. Epidemiological studies indicate that routine exposure of humans (in the workplace and the environment at large) to airborne uranium is not associated with increased mortality. Brief accidental exposures to very high concentrations of uranium hexafluoride have caused fatalities in humans, most likely due to the resulting exposure to hydrogen fluoride."

"No human studies were located regarding the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, endocrine, metabolic, dermal, ocular, body weight, or other systemic effects of elemental uranium following acute-duration inhalation exposure. Nor were any human studies located regarding the respiratory, hematological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, metabolic, dermal, ocular, body weight, or other systemic effects of uranium following intermediate-duration inhalation exposure. No studies were found regarding the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, renal, endocrine, metabolic, dermal, ocular, body weight, or other systemic effects in humans following chronic-duration inhalation exposure. The existing human data on the respiratory and hepatic effects of uranium are limited to acute- and chronic-duration inhalation exposures, hematological effects are limited to chronic-duration inhalation exposure, and gastrointestinal and renal effects are limited to acute-duration inhalation exposure."

We have evolved as per Darwin's theory to cope
with nano gram amounts of Uranium.

The CSIRO does not even mention fracking for this particular river yet the video does.

And yet the Conversation says not.

"No CSG production or exploration has occurred within 1.4 km of the Condamine River gas seep. This suggests that CSG is not responsible. "

"In April 2016, we mapped gas leaking from the site of a presumably abandoned leaking coal exploration well just 2.5 km north of the Condamine River gas seep.

We measured maximum methane concentrations of 595 parts per million (ppm) (the lower explosive limit of methane in air is 50,000 ppm). By contrast, the average natural background concentration of methane for the region is 1.79 ppm. The continuously high concentration indicates that there is a direct path between the coal measures and the ground surface."

https://theconversation.com/river-on-fire-even-if-its-not-coal-seam-gas-we-shoul...

No exploration, no fracking, no production.

I wonder if FD would eat the fish from that river?
What chemicals are in it?

I haven't eaten a freshwater fish in a long time. But I drink water from the condamine river regularly.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.
