Louisiana PFAS Fertilizer Contamination Lawyers
Synagro Claims Attorneys in Baton Rouge, LA
More and more studies show that fertilizers made with biosolids—human waste—contain dangerous levels of PFAS, or “forever chemicals.” Farms that use these fertilizers end up with PFAS leaching into the groundwater, killing livestock and poisoning the water supply. Contamination can affect surrounding properties, leading to devastating losses for entire communities whose livelihoods depend on raising livestock or growing crops. Meanwhile, companies selling these fertilizers insist that their product is safe.
If your property was contaminated by fertilizer containing PFAS, you deserve to recover everything you’ve lost. The Louisiana PFAS fertilizer lawyers at Clayton, Frugé & Ward investigate companies like Synagro, who sold customers a product that led directly to the destruction of their homes, land, and livelihood. The only way for plaintiffs to fight back is in civil court, which means they’ll need a trial attorney. Our firm is here to answer the call.

Synagro & Biosolids Fertilizer with PFAS
PFAS—per/polyfluoroalkyl substances—are toxic chemical compounds that take hundreds or thousands of years to break down, and they've been put in countless household goods since the 1940s. As a result, our bodies, food, and homes contain higher and higher levels of PFAS. These end up in landfills and waste treatment plants, leaching into the water supply.
Fertilizer manufacturers buy sewage sludge from waste treatment plants to use in their products. These are sold to farmers and growers as a safe and affordable alternative to costly traditional fertilizers, generating billions for a handful of companies. Synagro is the largest provider of biosolids fertilizer in the US.
But with such high levels of PFAS in our food and air, waste treatment plants’ byproducts contain extreme PFAS concentrations. Soil runoff from land fertilized with biosolids ends up in the groundwater, destroying livestock, fish, and rural livelihoods. In Texas, affected ranchers have no choice but to euthanize their entire stock, destroying family businesses that existed for generations.
