Land Application of Biosolids in Europe: Possibilities, Con-Straints and Future Perspectives

Andrea Gianico et al.

Summary: The agricultural use of good quality sludge in Europe represents a value-added route to ensure growth sustainability, but specific regulations are required to minimize health issues and environmental risks. The legislative framework on sludge agricultural use lacks harmonization among EU Member States, and challenges such as the fate of emerging micropollutants and microplastics in sludge-amended soils, as well as public health concerns during the COVID-19 epidemic, need to be considered.

Review of Sewage Sludge as a Soil Amendment in Relation to Current International Guidelines: A Heavy Metal Perspective

Nuno Nunes et al.

Summary: Sewage sludge, an underused biomass derived from wastewater treatment plants, can be utilized as biofertilizer after proper stabilization due to its high content of inorganic matter, nitrate, and phosphorus. However, a wide range of pollutants may be present in sewage sludge, which could have detrimental effects on the environment with long-term applications. Proper screening for heavy metals is essential when utilizing sewage sludge, along with adherence to guidelines and regulations for its application.
