Saving Farmland: Battling Toxic PFAS in Biosolids in Texas and Beyond

Join PEER to learn how millions of tons of sewage sludge (or biosolids), applied as fertilizer, are contaminating American farmland with toxic PFAS chemicals. These “forever chemicals” accumulate in the food chain, endangering human health and wildlife. Hear from county officials about how this toxic threat is devastating farms in Johnson County, Texas and why PEER is suing EPA on behalf of farmers and ranchers in Johnson County. Discover why EPA must act quickly to protect our farms, food, and water from PFAS pollution. Together, we must urge the EPA to act to ensure a safer future for agriculture and the environment.
