This week on EJR (Environmental Justice Report), I will discuss the plan passed by the Florida legislature to use radioactive materials to pave roads throughout the state. The material in question is phosphogypsum, a by-product of fertilizers. Unfortunately, phophogypsum contains significant amounts of uranium and its decay products such as radium-226. Radium is particularly dangerous since its decay creates radon. Radon is a known carcinogen. So, why is the GOP controlled legislature pushing this asinine plan? Tune in as we discuss this story.
My Little Margie will also present a new episode, aka the mystery of the notorious chapstick. Never before has such a blond neanderthal troll created such entertaining havoc.
We will also have our "Jackass of the Week Award."
Come join us.
