1. I was once told by a retired petrochemical engineer

that this was done in inland Southern California decades ago.

2. How about we gather up several tons of it, stick it in a building with no windows,

and limited air exchange, and stick those pukes, and their industry sponsors, in there for a month or so? Would that be enough exposure?

3. On the lawmakers' streets and driveways?

4. It'll get ground into dust & raise respiratory tract cancers near freeways

But hey, DeSantis needs to do the fertilizer companies a favor taking off their hands (at taxpayers' expense, no less) something they'd normally have to pay to have taken away and safely processed. Phosphogypsum is considered toxic waste.

I notice Mosaic Fertilizer LLC donates nicely to Florida Republicans.

But honestly, Floridians are likely taking in the stuff already:

"EPA has determined that phosphogypsum poses a cancer risk from its radon emissions. Major sinkholes in phosphogypsum stacks have released millions of gallons of process wastewater and an undetermined amount of phosphogypsum into the Floridan aquifer."
