These synthetic polymer products have often been used to help boost yields up to 60 percent and make water and pesticide use more efficient. As contamination rose, crop yields fell by 15 percent. The widespread practice, which took place through the late aughts, “had a deleterious effect on soil quality,” says Richard H.
