PFAS, commonly known as ‘forever chemicals’, have been detected in agricultural lands from a variety of sources, including biosolids applied as fertilizer, other contaminated soil amendments (paper pulp, tannery waste), contaminated irrigation or drinking water, atmospheric deposition, and/or pesticides. Because of the direct link to our food supply, PFAS contamination in agriculture is of great concern.
To help address PFAS concerns within the agricultural community, MSUE and MDARD have decided to collaborate and host a '2026 PFAS in Agriculture Webinar Series'. This is the final webinar in the series and it will cover the basics of how PFAS chemicals can contaminate biosolids and septage and the current state and federal regulations for PFAS in biosolids and septage.
