Research for Healthy Soils Act aims to study microplastics in biosolids used on farmland.
The Research for Healthy Soils Act seeks to enhance research on microplastics in land-applied biosolids on farmland. This includes studying microplastic concentration, particle size, and chemical composition. The bill also aims to develop wastewater treatment techniques to filter out or biodegrade microplastics from biosolids. Additionally, it seeks to analyze the impact of microplastics on agricultural crops and soil health. The act amends the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to include this research as a high-priority area.
