"Sugarcane burning produces what nearby communities refer to as “black smoke” which is particulate matter that, when inhaled, can lead to increased risk of cardiovascular disease and lung cancer. It can also cause chronic conditions like asthma to worsen. Sugarcane fires are known to release polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), some of which are thought to be carcinogenic, or cancer-causing. People living near cane fields in Florida are predominately lower-income Black and Hispanic communities."
