[QUOTE="Nick Wagner, post: 1739249, member: 25329"] Those PFOS and PFAS, commonly known as forever chemicals because they don’t break down in nature, are currently being discovered in Maine as well as the case in Michigan. I believe they have been traced back to a chrome plating plant that flushed into the local wastewater treatment facility, which then spread sludge on surrounding farms for decades. These are man made compounds and are being found in plants and animals grown on those farms. It’s not the human manure that’s the problem, it’s the chemical contamination. Last I read about them, the folks were scared because tests showed those chemicals in their children, at much higher levels than the EPA considered safe. Most of us would react that way if it was our children involved. [/QUOTE]
