Some home garden fertilizers contain PFAS

Cover of the report from the Ecology Center and Sierra Club.
If you buy some kinds of bagged fertilizer for your garden, you might be getting more than you want.
The Ecology Center and Sierra Club sampled different kinds of fertilizers made from biosolids. That’s the sludge left at a wastewater treatment plant after water is cleaned up. Almost all of them had PFAS compounds in them.
Some of them were being marketed as "organic" or "natural."
The report, “Sludge In the Garden: Toxic PFAS in home fertilizers made from sewage sludge,”  suggests using them in your garden could contaminate the food.
