Study tracks PFAS , microplastics through landfills and wastewater treatment plants.
Contaminants end up in biosolids, which are sprayed on croplands as fertilizer.
Landfills retain most of the plastic waste that is dumped there.
Wastewater treatment plants remove 99% of microplastic and some of the PFAS from the leachate they take in.
"It's time to tell people to start moving away from these things, stop producing these things," Scott said.
"Let's turn them off at the tap before this gets any worse," he said.
This research was funded by the Hazardous Waste Research Fund , which is administered by the ISTC .
