Toxic Wastewater From Oil Fields in Oklahoma
Experts warn of a pollution crisis spreading underground, threatening Oklahoma's drinking water due to toxic wastewater from oil fields.
Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, is spewing from old wells, causing environmental concerns.
- In January 2020, Danny Ray, a petroleum engineer, was hired to address the issue.
- The previous year, a similar incident occurred near Kingfisher, with thousands of gallons of toxic water pouring out daily for months.
These pollution events were not new, but they were occurring with increasing frequency across the state.
