Abstract

This report provides information to help regulators evaluate how well risk assessment works in setting biosolids-metals standards.

Management practices for safe use of biosolids on cattle-grazing pastures are included, as well as a detailed examination of biosolids molybdenum and copper reactions and transfers to soil, plant, and animal systems. Published by WERF. 100 pages. Soft cover.
