Re: SB: SB- fly ash articles

In addition for the potential for naturally occuring uranium ending up in your walls, slab floor,etc (via fly-ash), I understand that "low-level" radioactive waste is often disposed of in concrete blocks used for construction.  People who have found radioactivity seeping into their homes from the basement/crawlspace often have concrete block foundations.  Makes me wonder about the relationship between cheap concrete block housing projects and environmental racism/classism...
