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.

BELLEVILLE – St. Clair County Associate Judge Kevin Hoerner entered nine straight orders in favor of paraquat plaintiffs in preparation for a trial he would have started Monday, May 10.
The parties asked for a delay over the weekend, and Hoerner granted it.
In rulings from May 3 to May 6, he limited testimony of 17 defense experts and entirely excluded two.
He denied all defense motions for limits on testimony.
Farmers Carroll Rowan, Jerry Mills, Freemon Schmidt, and Ronald Niebrugge claim they suffer Parkinson’s disease from using paraquat to control weeds.
They seek damages from Syngenta Crop Protection and Growmark cooperative as suppliers, and Chevron USA as manufacturer.

Studies show that the unnecessary fluoride chemicals purposely added to the Madison drinking water supply is health-harming in many ways; but most critically to infants’ developing brains. Several organizations and individuals sued the Environmental Protection Agency to recognize fluoride’s neurological effects when setting safe water fluoride standards. Plaintiffs include myself and children, Ko and Hayden Staudenmaier. The case heads back to federal court on Aug. 26, 2021.
Fluoridation began in the 1940s with the mistaken belief that ingested fluoride was essential to reduce tooth decay. It doesn’t. Fluoridated toothpastes might help, but not fluoridated water. In today’s polarized environment, politics
Havana Syndrome ‘Absolutely’ Result of Deliberate Attacks: Expert
As the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence demands answers about the mysterious “Havana syndrome” a neurological sickness that hit U.S. Embassy workers in Cuba and elsewhere an expert told NTD’s “The Nation Speaks” that he believes the phenomenon is “absolutely” the result of a deliberate attack and called for accountability.
Gary Miliefsky, a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine, said he is certain U.S. diplomats in Cuba years ago were targeted by some kind of an ultrasonic weapon.
“Absolutely,” Miliefsky said, when asked whether he thought the health symptoms dubbed “Havana syndrome” were the result of deliberate hostile actions. “They recorded the background noises and sounds during the attack. And it sounded to me exactly like what’s known as an ultrasonic weapon.”
The Nation Speaks (May 8): Havana Syndrome Mystery; Anti-Racism in Your Workplace; Free Speech vs Snitching
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence wants answers about the mysterious “Havana Syndrome” a neurological sickness that hit U.S. embassy workers in Cuba and elsewhere. Was it a weapon? Who’s responsible? And how to treat dozens of sufferers?
We talk to Dr. Linda Birnbaum, former director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, who was appointed to a State Department-commissioned committee to investigate the phenomenon. She discusses what her committee did, and didn’t, find out.
We also talk to Gary Miliefsky, a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security and publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine. Miliefsky doesn’t think it’s mysterious at all and explains why he’s sure U.S. diplomats were targets of an ultrasonic weapon attack and why Cuba must be held accountable.
