Florida’s climate does not only promote year-round tourism; its growing season is 200 days longer than anywhere else in the country. Between warm temperatures and having the highest annual precipitation, there is also increased yield production during that time. The journey from farm to table employs almost 1.4 million individuals between building, machinery, harvesting, and selling agricultural commodities. Florida ranks second for its leading crops - primarily oranges, tomatoes, dairy, and sugarcane - as well as its production of fresh...

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a toxic gas that is characterized by its strong odor – like a just-struck match. Although sulfur dioxide can come from natural sources such as volcanoes and hot springs, the leading source of emissions come from the burning of fossil fuels in power-plants, cars, ships, trains and by extracting metal from ore. Sulfur dioxide can also be converted into a liquid state under moderate pressure at room temperature; frozen at -99.4°F and boiled at 14°F under...
