Florida’s test road made with radioactive waste raises serious concerns about public health risks.<\/li>\n
The EPA claims keeping phosphogypsum under 4 inches of asphalt is as safe as a storage stack.<\/li>\n
The Biden administration reversed a 2020 Trump-era decision to use radioactive waste in roads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
A Florida company has been given the green light by the Environmental Protection Agency<\/a> (EPA) to build a test road using phosphogypsum—a radioactive byproduct of fertilizer production. If that sentence makes you raise an eyebrow, you’re not alone. Phosphogypsum contains radium, which breaks down into radon gas, a substance widely associated with cancer risks. Predictably, this decision has sparked heated debate among environmental advocates and the general public alike.<\/p>\n
