2016-02-03 - Well leaking not just methane but large amounts of radioactive substances in Porter Ranch (California):
https://www.superstation95.com/index.php/world/849
Quote: "According to experts from the International Association for Protection from Ionizing Rays (AIPRI) in France, lethal levels of naturally-occurring radiation are coming out of the well and people will die from that radiation."
Quote: "If the leak, as it is now admitted, is actually 3 times greater i.e. 5.1 million m3 of effluent per day (3346 tons per day), with the same content per meter cube of radon 222 the natural radionuclides contained in the underground gas would skyrocket to 30.75 MBq (3.53 mCi) per second, of 470.69 GBq (12,72 Ci) per hour, 11.30 TBq (305.31 Ci) per day for an excursion in 90 days 1.02 PBq (27,48 KCi) a dispersion of 40.7 million Sieverts representing 8.14 million lethal doses by inhalation."
Note: Dire story there. One good thing is that radon has a short half-life of 3.8 days, so in 38 days there's only 1/1024th of the amount of radon around and in a year only about one-millionth of it is left. But then there's probably some uranium spewing out with the gas too, and that'll be around for a long time. And regardless of the radiation, that 'rotten egg' odor people are smelling is poison gas - either methyl mercaptan or hydrogen sulfide or both - so anyone smelling that is being poisoned, and that's what's causing the nosebleeds and pulmonary issues that people in the area have reported...

http://a1.am/en/2016/02/09/stretch-of-bypass-closed-after-parts-of-mouse-bridge-collapse-onto-carriageway
Quote: "The bridges were built in 2010 as part of plans to protect ecology along the 4.6-mile road and cost around £190,000. They consist of wire mesh tubes suspended between trees and poles and are part of plans to protect ecology along the 4.6-mile road. As dormice live in trees as opposed to on the ground, their routes have to stretch between trees instead of along underpasses used by, for example, hedgehogs and badgers."
Note: Hah, never heard of such a thing. Not knocking it - I've got no beef with dormice, although if any got inside my house then my cats would probably have something to say about it....
