Hurricane Milton Threatens Florida's Fertilizer Industry and Environmental Safety
As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, environmentalists are increasingly concerned about the potential disaster posed by polluted waste from the state's fertilizer industry. The storm is likely to impact critical phosphate mining hubs, raising alarms about possible chemical releases and toxic waste spread. With industrial sites in the hurricane's path, the risk of flooding and its associated dangers could significantly disrupt fertilizer production and jeopardize America's food supply. The situation is being described as a 'recipe for disaster' as authorities prepare for the imminent storm.
