Abstract

Building on WERF’s 2010 report, State-of-the-Science Review of Occurrence and Physical, Chemical, and Biological Processes Affecting Biosolids-borne Trace Organic Chemicals in Soils, the goal of this research was to assemble high-quality, unpublished data on specific trace organic compounds detected in biosolids. The study compiled data on physical-chemical, environmental fate, ecotoxicology, and mammalian toxicology endpoints. These findings can be used to support risk evaluations, narrow the list of compounds and data gaps for subsequent research. Published by WERF. 154 pages. Online PDF. (2012)
