Fears drugs and microplastics harming Perthshire locals as area named Scotland's field sewage capital It follows reports the sewage sludge contains “forever chemicals” microplastics and pharmaceuticals.

Perthshire should not be sewage sludge free for all.
🚜💩 1/5th of Scotland’s sludge is spread on local fields. Mark Ruskell is warning of microplastics & "forever chemicals" in our food chain.
We need urgent regulation! 🌍💚

🚨 92% of people believe water companies should ensure #sewagesludge used on farmland is not contaminated.

⚠️ Yet toxic sludge is still being sold to farmers.

This regulatory failure puts human health & rivers at risk, and requires URGENT govt action: ⬇️

THIS IS SHOCKING! 😳

See those white and blue pieces? That’s plastic.... In sewage sludge that is being spread on our farmland and often ending up in our rivers. 💩😱

This is so scandalous. The water industry wrote its own rules, the regulators looked away and buried its own studies. How long have they known about all the pollutants in the "safe" sludge? How long have they chosen not to know? #sewagesludge @fightingdirty.bsky.social

Huge hat tip to our friends at @riveractionuk.bsky.social and Hugh for illustrating the issues here so clearly.

If you're not already following @riveractionuk.bsky.social do now - they're campaign on #sewagesludge is taking our concerns on the subject to the heart of government!

B&C TSCAblog : EPA Extends Comment Period on Draft Sewage Sludge Risk Assessment for PFOA and PFOS

#biosolid, #PFOA, #PFOS, #sewagesludge

This study is based on frozen samples of soils & liquid #SewageSludge from trial plots in the mid-90’s. App rates & #biosolids incorportation depth are not representative of modern 🇬🇧 #biosolids use. The #Sludge itself was intentionally modified to exceed regulated contaminant levels…

This almost certainly isn’t a photo of #SewageSludge or #biosolids. #Biosolids in 🇬🇧 are almost exclusively applied as a solid known as ‘cake’ (tasty), not fired over fences using a rain gun…

Sewage Sludge Could Transform Into Food for Animals or Fuel for Cars A pilot project shows that the noxious wastewater treatment byproduct could be broken down into animal feed and automotive fuel.

Before we open the article itself we have big problems. Arguably, “vast swathes” of 🇬🇧 farmland are NOT spread with #SewageSludge. In fact just 1.5% of agricultural land area had #biosolids in 2023…

Draft Sewage Sludge Risk Assessment for Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) | US EPA The draft risk assessment reflects the agency’s latest scientific understanding of the risks to human health and the environment posed by the presence of PFOA and PFOS in sewage sludge.

The US EPA has published its Draft #SewageSludge Risk Assessment for #PFOA & #PFOS www.epa.gov/biosolids/dr... v.short 🧵

In a First, the E.P.A. Warns of ‘Forever Chemicals’ in Fertilizer Levels of PFAS in sewage sludge used as fertilizer can pose risks that sometimes exceed safety thresholds “by several orders of magnitude,” the agency said.

For the first time, the #EPA has warned that “forever chemicals” present in #sewagesludge that is used as fertilizer can pose human health risks….in some cases, the risks could exceed the agency’s safety thresholds “sometimes by several orders of magnitude.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/14/c...

Interesting also to note also that <0.1% of ag land in Minnesota receives #SewageSludge \ #biosolids. In 🇬🇧 about 1.5% of farmland has #biosolids in any one year.

PFAS in biosolids strategy The goal of Minnesota’s biosolids PFAS strategy is to ensure protection of human health while retaining the benefits of biosolids applied to land.

Another tiered approach for managing #SewageSludge / #biosolids in 🇺🇸 agriculture on the basis of its #PFAS concentration www.pca.state.mn.us/air-water-la...
