Scotland's Farmland: Sludge or Safeguard?

Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

Environmental charities in Scotland demand a halt to spreading sewage sludge on farmland due to concerns over forever chemicals, microplastics, pathogens, heavy metals, and drug residues. Despite its use as a cheap fertilizer, campaigners warn of pollutants accumulating in soil, water, and food chains, harming wildlife and human health. Scotland has implemented stricter rules, but charities argue they fall short of new European plans. The debate highlights the tension between waste recycling and protecting farmland.
