Abstract
Can sewage sludge be treated for shorter times than those currently required by national regulations? Key plant nutrients are lost by long-term storage of biosolids. Shorter treatment times are desirable, provided microbiological safety is assured. We have, therefore, investigated decay times of key pathogens present in raw sewage.https://doi.org/10.1071/MA12176
