This fertilizer is poisoning farms and putting our food at risk
For years, companies sold farmers fertilizer tainted with toxic chemicals called PFAS. We need to stand with farmers and hold these companies accountable.
Toxic threats
It’s up to us to protect our ecosystems and communities from toxic chemicals.
Most of the 80,000 chemicals on the market in the United States have been put into use without testing long-term consequences for the environment, or their impacts on our health. We should make sure that any chemical in use is safe, eliminate those we know are dangerous, and stop using any that are damaging healthy ecosystems. And if an industry makes a toxic mess, we should know right away, and they should be the ones to pay for cleaning it up.
