Article Synopsis
- Scientists looked at how treating sewage sludge (waste from toilets) affects the levels of harmful metals and chemicals in farming soils and crops.
- They found that using processed sludge helped reduce 'bad' metals in crops, like arsenic and copper, and made sure the crops were safe to eat.
- The study showed that treating sludge can lower harmful chemicals significantly, but more research is needed to see how it works with different soils and plants.
