Sludge fertilizer sold to farmers by a company called Synagro, owned by Goldman Sachs, can contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, commonly called forever chemicals) that can cause cancer, birth defects, and other serious ills. The New York Times has reported on an aggressive lobbying effort by Synagro and others to pressure Congress to shield them from lawsuits. I urge you to stand up for farmers and consumers and the environment and oppose the Agriculture PFAS Liability Protection Act and all other legislation that would let sellers and manufacturers of these dangerous chemicals off the hook. I also ask you to join Rep. Debbie Dingell in her ongoing bipartisan efforts to ban PFAS.
