About the Book: An acclaimed science journalist’s extraordinary seven-year investigation into how the U.S. oil and gas industry has avoided environmental regulations and created a dangerous and radioactive public health crisis.
This book began as an investigation with Rolling Stone magazine that examined the radioactivity brought to the surface in oil and gas production and the various pathways of contamination posed to the industry’s workers, the public and communities, and the environment. The magazine story was published in January 2020 and won an award for longform writing with the National Association of Science Writers, the book will be published April 24, 2024.
“Petroleum-238: Big Oil’s Dangerous Secret and the Grassroots Fight to Stop It” is due out April 24, and can be pre-ordered now on Amazon or BookShop. Copies will be available for purchase at the signing or you can pre-order a copy through your local bookstore.

TOWN HALL - ZOOM- Impact that our toxic air has on Health
2024-05-22 19:00 - 21:00 | PA

Whether the company gets sold or not, and to whom, the current owner is a long-time American company, U.S. Steel, a company that has failed to invest in its Mon Valley operations in favor of spending over $6 Billion in Arkansas in non-union mills.
The Edgar Thomson Works is 147 years old, and as with the other Mon Valley mills operated by U.S. Steel, has been poorly maintained.
All of us in Allegheny County and beyond are paying the true price for the existence of this company through diminished health, and sadly, in the premature deaths of far too many of our family and friends
Our next Town Hall, May 22, 7pm on Zoom, will explore the impact that our toxic air, much of it due to U.S. Steel, has had on our health and well being.
Sincerely,
Howard M. Rieger, Ph.D.
