Retired educator recently threatened by a 20.6 MILLION gallon sewage sludge lagoon going in which caused an investigation into Biosolids.

How does PFAS get into the biosolids & where do they come from? https://t.co/oFdj3FgG5R

Biosolids sound innocuous, but they can contain toxic contaminants that get into your food & water. https://t.co/yNTAzyycE2 @JohnTrimner @biosolidsbattle @PCBiosolids @bennettpeer @PFASCoalition @pfasprojectnh @smbrander @stelbailey @WendyENThomas @SaveForestLake1 @wind_susan

I have heard that sludge will not be tested for PFAS chemicals even though water testing will be required for select versions. We will ingest it anyway through the food supply.

If it goes down a drain - the residue of industrial, commercial, and residential activity (think about what we flush down drains) - it is concentrated in sewage sludge "Biosolids." It is made airborne during farm activity. Breathe deep! #BanBiosolids

NEVER use a "fertilizer" made from toxic sewage sludge and labeled as Biosolids or "beneficial nutrient." These products are insufficiently treated and retain 100% of the toxins found in concentrated sewage sludge. This is a horrible scam. #BanBiosolids

Horrific! This needs to stop. The damage we are doing to the Earth, human, and animal health is appalling. # BanBiosolids @OhioAG @OhioEPA @ohiodnr @OHRGOPCaucus @OHHouseDems @GovMikeDeWine

PFAS-laden biosolids in Texas are poisoning farms. I am honored to have worked with the amazing investigators and farmers in Johnson County, TX on this case.

We need justice now.

No more PFAS-laden biosolids on farms.

@pfoaprojectny1 @BanPlasticTurf There is no such thing as "overly broad restrictions on #Pfas." When a toxin and carcinogen has to be measured in PPT, is "forever", and is everywhere it MUST be broadly restricted! #BanBiosolids

@libsoftiktok Did Republicans make yours a sanctuary city? It was Biden who opened the border. Border states can't absorb them all. You asked for them.

As if #PFAS contaminated mothers needed yet another worry about breastfeeding their babies... "this impact was significantly more pronounced in those mothers whose offspring later developed autoimmune/inflammatory diseases"

Mmmmmm Biosolids is such a good idea! PFAS and toxins in our food and water. Yummy. #BanBiosolids

Considering the toxins in Sewage Sludge, why do they continue to call it a "beneficial nutrient rich fertilizer?" If you add sugar to rat poison would you call it candy? #BanBiosolids

PFAS is the canary in the coal mine. It is everywhere and it is hard to deconstruct. If methods prove to eliminate it, then the rest of the nasties are likely eliminated, too. Biosolids are a catastrophe of chemicals. #BanBiosolids

Biosolids=Poison. Forever chemicals are only the tip of the sludgeberg. Thousands of toxins, human pathogens, hormones, carcinogens, and other nasty contaminants are present in it. If it goes down a drain, it is in sludge. #BanBiosolids

"When we put those things in our bodies or in our skin and within ourselves, then we are putting those cancerous things inside of us.” #PFAS

[BanBiosolids @JohnTrimner]

@bennettpeer I wonder what substitute "Kissin' cousin" they use in their product. With thousands of untested versions out there, who knows? Maybe only the shadow knows.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

1. Chemical companies have spent more than $100 million over 3 years to block legislation & regulation of "forever chemicals," known as PFAS

45% of tap water in the country contains PFAS

PFAS exposure is linked to serious health risks, including cancer and fertility issues
