The word of the day is phosphogypsum: a waste product of the fertilizer industry full of sketchy substances that decay into sketchier substances best avoided by living creatures who enjoy being alive and healthy. Florida will soon be home to the first road in the country made with phosphogypsum in its base, and while the EPA likes to keep this stuff away from humans, their thumbs-up to build a test road built on a phosphogypsum bed has sparked a fierce debate. Sure, if you’re driving along in your F-150, you’re unlikely to notice any negative effects, but there’s more to it than indirect human contact.
