Synopsis
Urbanization and the resulting population centers are exerting an ever-increasing demand on technology for procedures to manage municipal wastes in an environmentally "safe" and acceptable manner. Society's awareness of our need to reuse, when possible, resources contained in wastes has led to an intense interest in the application of municipal sewage sludge to agricultural land. This procedure has been shown to be beneficial to crop growth because of the essential plant nutrients contained in sludges. However, out of concern that toxic chemicals and/or pathogenic organisms present in municipal wastes might be harmful to humans consuming food produced on sludge-amended land, the procedure has been brought into question. These processing represent an assessment of the state-of-the-art regarding the health risks associated with the use of sewage sludge in a soil-plant-animal food production system.
