"Treatment plants filter out nearly all the microplastics from wastewater, and that pollution is often processed into sewage sludge. Researchers worry this problem has grown in scale so much that it may be a threat to national food security" agri-pulse.com/articles/15480…

"a group of 68 micropollutants was identified in sludge... concentration data are reported for a group of 37 pollutants ... 10 pharmaceuticals" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

"due to thermal treatment, the destruction of organic micropollutants and pathogens, eventually present in the waste, is guaranteed" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33454533/

SEWAGE SLUDGE FERTILIZER CAPACITY: TIPPING POINT? Can humans withstand exposures to increasingly complex combinations of chemicals and biological agents? Wednesday March 24, 2:00pm Pacific Time Zoom Link: us02web.zoom.us/j/86908705045

"Sewage sludge collects pollutants, but also nutrients, energy and minerals. These also include phosphorus. This finite resource must be recovered and recycled" videos.messe-muenchen.de/en/detail/3z6v…

PFAS in Biosolids - "Because biosolids can contain organic compounds such as PFAS, land-application of biosolids may introduce PFAS to the environment" pubs.usgs.gov/gip/208/gip208…

"The environmental company Ragn-Sells' project to extract phosphorus from sewage sludge has been granted 51 MSEK from the Swedish EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)" ragnsells.com/about-us/newsr…

.Ways2H and Japan Blue Energy have today announced the completion of a facility in Tokyo that will be able to convert sewage sludge into renewable #hydrogen for #fuelcell mobility and power generation. h2-view.com/story/new-faci…

"See the presentation: "Closing the phosphorous cycle: Value added recycling from incinerated sewage sludge." " easymining.se/newsroom/artic…

"Incineration of sludge provides the possibility of destroying pollutants present in sludge, such as pharmaceutical residues and microplastics, while also creating opportunity to recycle nutrients, such as phosphorus, from the ashes" Summary in English - ivl.se/download/18.72…

"land application of biosolids in the U.S. alone could annually release 785–1080 trillion microplastics ...the true concentration of microplastics in biosolids could be significantly underestimated." pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

This paper frames the argument incorrectly - it should read : People favor "the extraction of phosphorus" over using our soils as a dumping ground for our cities' toxic waste- ARGs, pharmaceuticals, PFAS, microplastics, phthalates ... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

"Chlorinated solvents, such as trichloroethylene and trichloroethane, are in increasingly wide use . Of the tonnes of waste solvent some will be discharged into the Urban Wastewater collecting system" (ec.europa.eu/environment/ar…) . oregonlive.com/environment/20…

"closing cycles by developing technology to detoxify and recover important substances from sewage sludge ash and other waste streams ... nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen and various salts can be purified and used again as a new raw material." easymining.se/newsroom/artic…

"sewage sludge can contain a complex mixture of pollutants that are harmful to organisms ... Toxins from sludge or biosolid caused tissue damage in both the diplopod and fish ... sewage sludge pathogens promoted specific histological alterations." doi.org/10.1016/j.ecol…

Pollutant-rich sewage sludge / biosolids in the news again - freep.com/story/news/loc…

“Since most plastic materials are not readily biodegradable, our concern is the biosolids produced by treatment plants contain a lot of pollutants that could stick to the microplastics.” newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/bioso…

Hydrochar made from municipal biosolids, ready for testing as a fine aggregate replacement in concrete production. Not only are we sequestering carbon by embedding it into concrete, but we are also sequestering PFAS, microplastics, and heavy metals. somaxhtc.com
