Applying wastewater sludge to farm fields is a great way to fertilize fields and send less junk to the landfill, but the assumption of safety of that practice is now blown away. This is one reason why source reduction is a critical component of PFAS management. www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...

www.wral.com/news/local/t... It’s 3.6M now! North Carolina has become a national hotspot for PFAS contamination, particularly in the Cape Fear River Basin. More than 3.6 million residents in the state have drinking water with PFAS levels above the federal safety threshold established in April 2024.
