Has anyone ever pondered the large amount of sulfur contained in Florida's well water for a non volcanic region?


I believe the underground sources of sulfur include gypsum and dolomite deposits, which dissolve in low pH flowing water, but that much of the current issues come from agricultural practices over the last century. I know it is a hot topic around the Everglades. In my area (Kansas), there is more concern with radium in the carbonate deposits.
