Yikes. For US backyard “farmers” is there an affordable way to have one’s soil tested for the stuff?
Have they banned gardens too? If the dioxin levels are that high one would think every backyard would need to undergo soil remediation immediately.
The remediation industry is due for a multi-billion dollar boom over the next couple decades. To all the prospective students out there – get your environmental engineering degrees.
Why won’t “EuroNews” accept my cookies choices?
Shit site.
Anyone find an alternative source?
The forever chemicals are also in factory farmed chickens I would suppose. What’s the difference?
I’m a little sceptical of this warning. Not that there aren’t PFAS concerns, but that the essential message here is that factory farmed eggs are automatically better. I know that factory farming is regulated and in theory held to a certain safety/health standard, but I’ve seen videos of the farms that make you wonder whether literally anything other than final product quality control and profit margin are taken into consideration. The article also repeatedly says warning comes from a “French health authority” but doesn’t cite the source.
Lmao yeah no I’ll take my eggs that I know what is being fed to them but some facility where the chickens are in cages for some “cleanliness”
Anyone living in cities, especially near roads are at extreme risk. It’s not just industrial/residential pollutants and the exhaust from vehicles that you need to be aware of. It’s all the car tires eroding and going into the air and soil. Think of how long some cities have had this pile up.
The situation is compounded by that folk are unable to create closed plant/livestock systems due to zoning, labor, education and costs.
Send your soil and water in for testing. Though you already know what the reports are going to point to.
We’re all in that “find out” stage of or life expectancy and reaping what we’ve sown.
