Newly mined phosphate releases radioactivity. Huge mounds of phosphate tailings run for miles and miles of many Central Florida roadways.
Miles and miles of radioactivity in Central FL??
Don’t tarry while driving through Central Florida!

This is an old gyp stack. I’ve worked around the stuff for years. Even wore a dosimeter for a while and it showed nothing. There’s just enough radiation in the stuff to call it radioactive. Makes for scary news and not much else except for a possible money pump for Morgan & Morgan. Anytime you dig a whole in Florida, you’re going get a smidgen of radiation in the form of radon gas.
