Ohio State University Researchers Investigate Health Impact of Oilfield Brine on Local Communities

Ohio State University Researchers Investigate Health Impact of Oilfield Brine on Local Communities

Researchers from Ohio State University are conducting a study to understand the health impacts of oilfield brine, a byproduct of oil and gas development, which is spread on roads in Ohio for ice melting and dust control. The study, led by Dr. Arbor Quist, involves collecting toenail clippings, baby teeth, and soil samples from residents in Licking County, where the brine is used. The brine is known to contain radioactive materials, raising concerns about its long-term health effects. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has found that brine from various wells is too radioactive to be discharged into the environment. Activists are pushing for legislative action to ban the use of oilfield brine on roads, citing health risks.

Ohio Department of Transportation Proposes U.S. 23-I-71 Connector Route Amid Community Concerns

Ohio Department of Transportation Proposes U.S. 23-I-71 Connector Route Amid Community Concerns

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has announced its final recommended route for a proposed highway connector between U.S. 23 and Interstate 71. This project aims to improve travel between central and northwest Ohio by enhancing safety and reducing congestion along the U.S. 23 corridor. The proposed route will pass through Morrow, Delaware, and Marion counties, north of the village of Ashley. While ODOT's role is to identify the most feasible location for the highway, the decision to build it remains with the Ohio General Assembly. The project has sparked concerns among local residents about potential changes to their communities and the use of taxpayer money. ODOT has received over 2,200 public comments and is encouraging further feedback before finalizing the study.

Equality Ohio Downgrades Dr. Amy Acton's Grade Over Anti-Trans Remarks

Equality Ohio Downgrades Dr. Amy Acton's Grade Over Anti-Trans Remarks

Equality Ohio, an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, has downgraded Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Dr. Amy Acton's grade from an 'A' to 'Pending' on its 2026 Candidate Scorecard. This decision follows Acton's comments to the Toledo Blade, where she expressed support for Ohio's ban on transgender athletes, stating, 'I do not support boys playing in girls sports.' Equality Ohio criticized these remarks as harmful and reflective of a broader pattern of scapegoating transgender individuals. The organization emphasized that voters prefer leaders focused on issues like affordability and freedom from discrimination. Acton's campaign website includes a commitment to anti-discrimination laws but lacks specific protections for gender identity or expression. Her opponent, Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, received an 'F' on the scorecard. Transgender candidate Ari Childrey supported Equality Ohio's decision, stating that no candidate should use harmful rhetoric against trans youth.
