Hygienic and ecological aspects associated with the utilisation of biosolids and excrement in agriculture
Aspects hygiéniques et écologiques en relation avec l'utilisation en agriculture de boues de stations d'épuration et d'excréments
Résumé
The effective sanitation of the environment, particularly of its special parts, which can be a source for spreading infections, plays an important role in the prevention of infectious diseases. In this respect special attention should be paid to the sanitation of the excrement of farm animals to ensure the effective devitalisation of infectious agents and comply with the need to preserve the nutrients in manure. Agricultural reuse of sludge and manure is acceptable only if their sanitary quality is guaranteed sufficiently and the issues of public concern are handled in the proper way.
