🚨EXCLUSIVE 🚨 After obtaining reams of internal docs, I have a new story out revealing how govt has sat on plans to tighten rules letting water companies SELL sewage sludge fertiliser contaminated with PFAS & microplastics. Read it in The Guardian, and.. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Read my full investigation ENDS Report for details on: ❗️The 22 tonnes of microplastics dumped on farms per day via sludge (equal in weight to about 3.6 MILLION plastic bags) 🇺🇸Why closure of sludge-impacted farms in the US should make the UK sit up 👉endsreport.com/1923968/

Last year, lawyers representing Fighting Dirty took the EA to court over whether its decision to remove a deadline for reforming sludge regulations was unlawful. The group lost its case - but via FOI I got hold of the docs submitted by the EA. theguardian.com/environment/20…

These docs have revealed the extent to which the EA has sought to persuade the government to implement its plans to tighten the regulatory net on sludge, including eye-watering evidence of the risk of not doing so - and how the agency was ignored. theguardian.com/environment/20…

This includes staff at the regulator warning 3 years ago that practically all microplastics entering sewage treatment works end up in sludge bound for farmland. My investigation has revealed that this is estimated to be 22 TONNES of microplastics per day. theguardian.com/environment/20…

For years, the Environment Agency advised ministers sewage sludge could be spreading toxic waste & microplastics over farmland. For years they were ignored. Tess Colley writes: share.google/mpssPq9OOP8HXY…

22 tonnes of microplastics are dumped on farms PER DAY via sewage sludge, my latest investigation has revealed. Emails & docs I obtained through FOI have exposed how this & other alarming warnings from the EA have been sat on for years. Read the story 👇 theguardian.com/environment/20…
