Pennsylvania uses the salty fracking water on streets in the winter. I
hear that the water is radioactive, no wonder the greenery along the
highways is all dead.

heh. i'm doing the best i can avoiding products produced or made
in the USA in favor of ones from Mexico and Canada. will continue
to do so until this country unfucks itself by pulling its head out
its ass.
i thought Texas was seceding. please fuck off and do so. and take
the rest of red state confederate shitholes down there with you.
thanks in advance.

Why not just go ahead with the remedy and open up some windows for a
change of air in the house? It tends to gather in basements and
crawlspaces where there is not much air movement. If you have forced
air you can keep the fan running and circulate it and open up the
windows to change the air in the house.

Um, Michael. If there were that much radiation, you'd be glowing
in the dark.
Plants grow at Chernobyl.
You live in a stone house. Worry about the radon from that instead.

Not necessary all winter, but when you get a warm day you can open a
window and get a change of air.

The plants are dead due to the salt.
There is a lot of salt spread on roads during the winter. In the spring
the grass closest to the roads tends to look less than lush in the
spring, but a lot of that has to do with the vegetation being covered
with sand and salt which blocks a lot of the sunlight. After a few days
of rainfall and the baring of the grass blades they rebound and the
grass closest to the highway is the greenest and fastest growing.

I live a 15 minute drive from the nation's oldest running nuclear power plant, we're probably already glowing, LOL. The neighboring coal plant dumped their ashes in "Little Blue Run Lake" for decades.
Either way, spraying radioactive brine water on the roads probably isn't
a hot idea.

How radioactive is it? Unless you know that, it's pointless to
speculate.
I have a piece of uranium glass in my living room. It's radioactive,
but I don't worry about it.

I don't have a Geiger counter to test. Glassware and pottery are
harmless, but apparently the same cannot be said for those old glow in
the dark alarm clocks. Many women in painting numbers onto the clocks
in factories were poisoned from the work.
A couple of college girls borrowed a Geiger counter from Kent State and brought it into the antique mall where I work to test things. I had an
old Big Ben alarm clock disassembled at the desk, and carried the face
plate up. Based on the reading, the one girl told me "I wouldn't be touching that if I were you".

I have mentioned working for two summers in an alloy smelting plant back
in the 1970s.

Usta be, you could buy a radium dial watch that conveniently glowed in
the dark without needing a different energy source.
Usta be, you could go in a shoe store and stick your feet in a X-ray
machine to see how your shoes fit. You could see the bones in your toes!
Usta be, you could view an atomic blast if you were given access, as
long
as you wore shades.
I wasn't given access to do the third thing, but I did the other two. We
did have a few nuke tests around fifty miles from me, as the crow flies.
Less than ten years later, I wandered around the site, looking at the "Danger, Radiation" signs. There weren't any other souls around.
Couple of skeletons. Nah, just kidding. They already picked those up. ;)
Nevada and New Mexico have among the lowest cancer rates in the US. My
wife's cousin lived in a town where everyone was getting cancer. His kid
and wife had it. Why didn't they move? I donno.
