DRIED SLUDGE IS USED AS MANURE .

"SLUDGE"

sewage sludge is disposed of via landfills and incineration as well as land application. According to the EPA, about half of all sewage sludge is applied to land, but it is only applied to about one percent of the nation’s farmland.  The likely result is that, if dangers do lurk in the sludge applied to land, we rarely find out about them.

Most people’s chances of eating enough tainted food from farms that apply sewage sludge as fertilizer to cause an acute reaction are pretty slim.  The chance that anyone who got sick would be able to correctly trace his or her illness back to the farm and to sewage sludge is even smaller.  However, a lack of easily traceable acute illnesses does not prove that sewage sludge is safe.  Health harm due to exposure to low levels of toxins over a long period of time is no more acceptable than acute problems, even if they are less obvious.

Dried sludge is used as manure

Explanation:

  • Sludge, the biosolids remaining in wastewater, when dried and treated can be used as manure.
  • Reason: The chemical and organic composition of sludge matches with soil manure requirements and hence sludge is considered to be an option of manure. It boosts soil fertility as well as plant growth.
  • Sludge needs to be pretreated, disinfected, and amended as per required soil parameters to convert it into manure.
  • Conversion and usage of sludge as manure although improves soil fertility poses a lot of environmental and health hazards.
