(NaturalNews) The Food Rights Network (FRN), a nonprofit research group, recently issued a press release explaining the test results from a study of San Francisco’s free “organic biosolids compost”.These independent tests revealed that the free soil, given to the public by San Francisco’s Public Utilities Commission, is loaded with endocrine-disruptive chemicals.
Scientists found “appreciable concentrations” of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants, triclosan, an antibacterial agent, nonylphenol detergent breakdown components, and other things in the compost.
According to the commission, the compost is derived from sewage sludge and given out to the public for use in home gardens and at schools.
