They’re almost everywhere. And they’re bad. But there are some things you can do to avoid them.

There’s a growing understanding of the health threats of PFAS chemicals in what we eat and drink.

Pastures were fertilized with toxic sewage decades ago. Nobody knew, until the cows’ milk was tested.

The Times dug into the widespread use of sewage sludge as fertilizer, which is sometimes heavily contaminated by “forever chemicals.”

Fertilizer made from city sewage has been spread on millions of acres of farmland for decades. Scientists say it can contain high levels of the toxic substance.

A green accounting method called “mass balance” certifies that something was manufactured with recycled plastic — just not necessarily much of the bottle making the claim.

The herbicide, used widely on crops including broccoli and onions, can cause low birth weight and impaired brain development, regulators said.
