Pennsylvania HB1116 requires the Department of Environmental Protection to conduct a comprehensive study on PFAS chemicals in biosolids authorized for use in the state. The study will include testing PFAS concentrations in biosolids used on farmland, comparing these concentrations with those in soil and water, analyzing the sources of biosolids, and examining potential contamination pathways in the food supply. It will also analyze PFAS uptake in crops, livestock, and poultry, assess different testing and treatment methods, and review other states' regulations.
