Fertilizer made from city sewage has been spread on millions of acres of farmland for decades. Scientists say it can contain high levels of the toxic substance.
Maybe we should keep destroying EPA protections in the name of corporate profits without paying attention. Surely it’s not an issue this generation will ever have to deal with. The idiot new generations can figure it out later. Am I MAGA’ing right?

The sludge that allegedly contaminated the Colemans’ farm came from the City of Fort Worth water district, which treats sewage from more than 1.2 million people, city records show. Its facility also accepts effluent from industries including aerospace, defense, oil and gas, and auto manufacturing. Synagro takes the sludge and treats it (though not for PFAS, as it’s not required by law) then distributes it as fertilizer.
So this likely isn’t passed from human waste into this sludge, but from industrial waste. Seems like this is something that could be stopped at the source and still reduce waste of… waste.
Haven’t used 12ft in a minute but it kinda just broke the article for me. Css was overlaying text and it still faded out before the end of the article. Back to block js for me
Block js had the same issues -.-
Yeah, news continues to find ways to lock their stuff down. It’s a uphill fight.
