The Importance of Pathogenic Organisms in Sewage and Sewage Sludge

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2001
Deficient sanitation poses a serious threat to human and animal health, involving complex relationships between environments, animals, refuse, food, pathogens, parasites, and man. However, by sanitizing and stabilizing the organic matter of sewage sludge, agriculture can utilize it to maintain soil, water, and air quality.
