This problem has been brewing for a long time, and is likely worse than any of us can grasp.

Here's an enlightening read: (warning: it's long)

There's a movie, Dark Waters, about this as well. Great watch.

What an incredible yet horrifying article. My first thought is someone should make a Chernobyl-style show based on these events so that it gets national attention.

Edit: apparently there was a movie recently released about it, that I had never heard of until I reached this thread. I still think a TV series is the best way to approach this sort of topic as you have more hours to sink into the details.

FYI (since I couldn't find this information anywhere in the article itself) the Huffington Post piece was published August 27, 2015.
