Another chemical in the air to be concerned about

 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/19/california-toxic-gas-sulfuryl-fluoride

 

"About 85% of US emissions of sulfuryl fluoride were traced by a recent peer-reviewed study to southern California, where the state’s $4.2bn pest-control industry uses it for drywood termite control. Sulfuryl fluoride is estimated to be up to 7,500 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its greenhouse-gas potential."

 

Oh boy, yet another climate-warming chemical to worry about.
