This month, the EPA acknowledged there is a cancer risk tied to forever chemicals in sewage sludge spread on farm fields. A practice New York wants to increase. The issue is a complicated one. Emily Kenny and I dug into it. A 5 pt series and extensive digital reporting here:

The DEC says they're trying to stop PFAS contamination at the source, but in the meantime, farmers are spreading sewage full of "forever chemicals" on their fields. That needs to stop. More from Emily Kenny: spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/watertown/…

A second Steuben County town bans the spreading of sewage sludge on farm fields. #Biosolids contain varying levels of #PFAS and several people living near fields in Cameron where it was spread in the past had their wells, ponds and streams contaminated.
