Oil and Gas Production Wastes | Radiation Protection
Naturally-Occurring Radiation: The geologic formations that contain oil and gas deposits also contain naturally-occurring radionuclides, which are referred to as "NORM" (Naturally-Occurring Radioactive Materials): Geologists have recognized their presence since the early 1930s and use it as a method for finding deposits (Ma87).

Eating Fossil Fuels
Welcome to Lino’s Place That’s me - sitting in my office - probably working on my latest project. Im very concerned about the state of the world and spend way too much time trying to work out a way that I can help move towards a sustainable society. Unfortunately, most of society lives in a dream world where everything is great as they sleepwalk towards catastrophe. This site is aimed at informing those that wish to wake up, and help society evolve from where it is now onto a more sustainable path. My aim is to help people understand the big picture, rather than just the part of it that they are informed about.
