| Abstract: | Land application of biosolids has proven a cost-effective method of waste disposal by beneficially recycling organic matter and
nutrients and improving soil quality; however, it may also pose potential threat to the environment and human health. The purpose
of this paper is to provide information on recent research progresses and regulation efforts regarding land application of biosolids,
including forms and types and nutrient values of biosolids, environmental and health concerns, and related best management
practices (BMPs) of biosolids application, with emphasis on its land application in agriculture. More research and regulations are expected to minimize potential risks of biosolids land application, especially its long-term impacts. |
