EPA Proposes Guidelines to Mitigate PFAS Risks in Biosolids

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued draft guidance offering voluntary recommendations to lessen the potential dangers of PFOA and PFOS chemicals found in biosolids. This guidance is aimed at wastewater treatment operators, landowners, farmers, and state and tribal water agencies. The goal is to clarify risks associated with these "forever chemicals" and suggest practices to reduce exposure.
