Florida bill allowing radioactive roads made of potentially cancer-causing mining waste signed by DeSantis
Phosphogypsum is a material known by the EPA to contain a "potentially cancer-causing, radioactive gas," that's the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.
Oh Florida
Looking forward to DeSantis' next step- bringing back asbestos.
From the article:
"Any request for a specific use of phosphogypsum in roads will need to be submitted to EPA," the spokesperson said, "as EPA's approval is legally required before the material can be used in road construction."
I bet the plan is to remove all barriers aside from the EPA, win in 2024, then begin work abolishing the EPA. It’s a solid plan to get lots of campaign support from fertilizer and other industries.
