In 2022, researchers uncovered a disturbing reality:
more than 20 million acres of cropland in the United States were contaminated with PFAS, commonly known as “forever chemicals.”

These findings raised serious concerns about food safety, environmental exposure, and long-term human health.

What Are Forever Chemicals and Why Are They So Dangerous?

PFAS are called forever chemicals because they do not easily degrade in the environment.

They are:

• Highly persistent
• Extremely mobile in water
• Very difficult to remove once released

Once PFAS enter soil or groundwater—whether through industrial discharge or consumer product waste—they tend to spread rapidly and remain for decades.

The Health Risks Linked to PFAS Exposure

Scientific research has associated certain PFAS compounds with serious health concerns, including:

• Hormonal and endocrine disruption
• Reproductive system interference
• Immune system suppression
• Increased risk of specific cancers, such as kidney and testicular cancer

This makes their presence in agricultural soil particularly alarming.

How Did PFAS End Up on U.S. Farmland?

One major source of contamination is sewage sludge.

Sewage sludge is the residual material left after municipal wastewater treatment. Because it is nutrient-rich and expensive to dispose of, it is widely used as “organic fertilizer” across the United States and Europe.

Unfortunately, this sludge often contains:

• PFAS
• Microplastics
• Industrial chemical residues

When applied to farmland, these contaminants accumulate in the soil.

How Contaminated Soil Affects the Food We Eat

Crops grown on contaminated land can absorb PFAS through their root systems.
As a result, these chemicals can enter the food chain without consumers realizing it.

In addition:

• Microplastics present in sewage sludge degrade over time
• As they break down, they release additional toxic compounds into the soil

A 2020 study found that microplastics can accelerate the absorption of toxic chemicals by plants, compounding the problem.

Why BIOSUPERFOOD Uses a Controlled Microalgae Bioreactor System

This is precisely why the microalgae used in BIOSUPERFOOD by Bioage are never grown in the wild.

Instead, they are cultivated in a closed, controlled bioreactor system that protects them from:

• Air and water pollution
• PFAS contamination
• Microplastics
• Mercury and PCBs
• UV and radiation exposure
• Fish, bird, and environmental waste

This controlled environment allows every variable to be managed, ensuring purity, consistency, and safety.

Clean Cultivation Without Chemical Inputs

Equally important, BIOSUPERFOOD microalgae are grown with:

• No synthetic fertilizers
• No pesticides or herbicides
• No antibiotics
• No growth hormones
• No preservatives or additives

This approach aligns with advanced bionutrition principles, focusing on clean, cellular nourishment through responsibly cultivated microalgae.
