Uranium Cordial - contaminated drinking water

In this episode, Anthony Amis, land use researcher at Friends of the Earth, takes us through the findings of the WA Auditor Report which found unacceptable levels of uranium in drinking water in several remote aboriginal communities. Anthony’s further research has found high levels of uranium in other parts of Australia as well, but a lack of data means the full scale of the problem is unknown. The lack of political will to treat the drinking water is yet another form of environmental racism.  To learn more about this research and check out the interactive map of contamination sites, read his snapshot here.
