Biosolids, the treated byproduct of wastewater, play a big role in agriculture, helping fertilize millions of acres worldwide. Packed with nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, they boost soil health and support crop growth.
But there's more to consider. The EPA recently raised concerns about PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," found in some biosolids. These substances can stick around in the environment and may pose health risks if not carefully managed.
It’s a reminder to stay on top of regulations. When handled right, biosolids can be a sustainable way to support agriculture while keeping safety a top priority.
