Biological Composition of Sewage Sludge in the Aspect of Threats to the Natural Environment
One of the prerequisites for sustainable development is integrated waste management, including sewage sludge. Besides its good fertilization properties, sewage sludge, which is an inevitable by-product of sewage treatment, accumulates toxic chemical ...
