The EPA okayed using toxic waste to build a road in Florida.
Phosphogypsum contains radium, which as it decays forms radon gas.
Both radium and radon are radioactive and cause cancer.

Just in case you thought travel to Florida was safe.
Florida is currently piloting the use of phosphogypsum - a radioactive byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production - in road construction, a move that has sparked significant environmental and public health concerns.
No kidding!

Incredibly, processing 1 ton of phosphate rock leaves 5 tons of phosphogypsum unusable toxic radioactive waste. The waste is tightly controlled by today's EPA and kept in huge open air "stacks".
Florida stores at least 1 billion tons, adding 30 million tons per year.
Think of the benefits!

Mining companies in Florida want to use radioactive materials to build roads. Not just in Florida, everywhere in America! Let's just assume the radiological emitters are alpha only (they're not btw), that wouldn't be so harmful -- unless you were the dump truck operator breathing in this dust!
