The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is looking for feedback on a proposed per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) standard for municipal biosolids imported or sold in Canada as commercial fertilizers.
PFAS are synthetic chemicals that have been in use since the 1940s. They’re considered forever chemicals because they don’t degrade, and can be found in products like cleaners, leather and paints.
Canadians have until Feb. 20 to submit comments.
