A Perspective on Biosolids Management [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2001
Wastewater treatment has evolved into an important mechanism that used to protect public health from infectious disease. In the 1850s, water drawn from the Thames River below London′s sewage outfall was found to be a source of a cholera outbreak (1). As a result, ′sewage farms′ were established to treat and dispose of wastewater.

Relating Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in Biosolids to Home Exposure

Urban Agriculture & Regional Food Systems, 2019
Municipal biosolids and composts are used on agricultural soils and in urban areas. Greater visibility has resulted in increased concerns about the presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in these materials. Scientific studies have

Odorous Vocs Identification from Ageing Dewatered Anaerobically Stabilised Biosolids from Polish Wwtp by Two-dimensional Gas Chromatography Couple with Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2021
Odour from biosolids emission is a complicated matrix. Still a little is known about chemical composition of odours from biosolids and which compounds are responsible for overall odour. Apart from well-known odorants such as sulfur compounds and ammonia,

Filamentous Fungi as Promising Agents for the Biodegradation of Biosolids Compounds

Fronteiras: Journal of Social, Technological and Environmental Science, 2019
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) generate pasty wastes, known biosolids, which can be toxic and recalcitrant, motivating studies aiming at their degradation.

Point-of-Care Lateral Flow Detection of Viable Escherichia coli O157:H7 Using an Improved Propidium Monoazide-Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Method

Foods, 2022
The detection of both viable and viable but non-culturable (VBNC) Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a crucial part of food safety. Traditional culture-dependent methods are lengthy, expensive, laborious, and unable to detect VBNC.

Effects of Biosolids Application on Pasture and Grape Vines in South-Eastern Australia

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2011
Biosolids were applied to a pasture and a vineyard in south-eastern Australia. At both sites, soil Cd, Cu, and Zn concentrations linearly increased with biosolids application rates although not to the extent of exceeding soil quality guidelines ...

Understanding the Removal and Fate of Selected Drugs of Abuse in Sludge and Biosolids from Australian Wastewater Treatment Operations

Engineering, 2019
Illicit and pharmaceutical drugs are considered to be emerging contaminants of concern, and much research effort has gone into assessing their occurrence in wastewater.

A Proposal for Recycling the World’s Unused Stockpiles of Treated Wastewater Sludge (Biosolids) in Fired-Clay Bricks

Buildings, 2019
Millions of tonnes of leftover biosolids are increasingly stockpiled every year around the globe. Biosolids are a product of the wastewater sludge treatment process. Stockpiles necessitate the use of large areas of increasingly valuable land.

Effect of the Application of Ochrobactrum sp.-Immobilised Biochar on the Remediation of Diesel-Contaminated Soil

Toxics
The immobilisation of bacteria on biochar has shown potential for enhanced remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the effect of bacterial immobilisation on biosolids-derived biochar for the

Response of a Pioneering Species (Leptospermum scoparium J.R.Forst. & G.Forst.) to Heterogeneity in a Low-Fertility Soil

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Root foraging may increase plant nutrient acquisition at the cost of reducing the total volume of soil explored, thereby reducing the chance of the roots encountering additional patches.
