Regulators STILL allowing toxic BIOSLUDGE to be dumped all over food crops, polluting them with PFAS “forever chemicals”

June 12, 2023 -

Maine and Michigan are the only two states where PFAS testing is required, while the other 48 refuse to test for PFAS. The result is PFAS contamination all throughout the food supply, and even inside people's bodies.

The state of Virginia, for instance, actually increased the amount of sludge permitted to be dumped on farmland with no PFAS testing. Similarly, Alabama continues to reject pleas by residents and environmental groups to test for the deadly chemicals.
