Toxic “forever chemicals” seem to be everywhere these days, from drinking water sources to breast milk. Now, it appears that the chemicals, also known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have also found their way into fertilizers, according to a report published last month. The report was written by researchers from the Ecology Center and the Sierra Club, … Continue reading Toxic “forever chemicals” found in fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Scientists find toxic “forever chemicals” in home fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Many home gardeners buy compost or fertilizers to improve the quality of their soil. Unfortunately, some home fertilizers made from biosolids – nutrient-rich, organic materials derived from sewage sludge – contain alarmingly high levels of “forever chemicals,” or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Those are the findings of a recent report by scientists with Ecology Center, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group based in … Continue reading Scientists find toxic “forever chemicals” in home fertilizers made from sewage sludge
Scientists warn that microplastics are harming earthworms, plant health and soil pH
Researchers from the Anglia Ruskin University found that microplastic can curb the growth of earthworms, potentially affecting plant and soil health. Earthworms play an important role in the soil ecosystem as they dramatically alter soil structure, nutrient dynamics, water movement and plant growth. But the presence of microplastics is harming earthworms, according to the findings published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. “The … Continue reading Scientists warn that microplastics are harming earthworms, plant health and soil pH
Crops absorb pharmaceuticals from sewage sludge spread on farmlands
Agricultural crops can absorb pharmaceuticals found in the water used to irrigate them or the sewage sludge used to fertilize them, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Toledo-Ohio and published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. When humans consume pharmaceuticals, active traces of those drugs are excreted in their feces … Continue reading Crops absorb pharmaceuticals from sewage sludge spread on farmlands
EPA faked biosludge safety data just like it faked global warming temperature data … Shocking truths unveiled in upcoming documentary “Biosludged”
One of the greatest health threats facing the American public has been largely unknown to the average citizen until now, but the release of Biosludged – a new documentary produced by Health Ranger Mike Adams – is about to blow the proverbial lid off a subject that deserves everyone’s attention. The use of treated sewage sludge (euphemistically called “biosolids”) … Continue reading EPA faked biosludge safety data just like it faked global warming temperature data … Shocking truths unveiled in upcoming documentary “Biosludged”
