Steroid hormone runoff from agricultural test plots applied with municipal biosolids.
The potential presence of steroid hormones in runoff from sites where biosolids have been used as agricultural fertilizers is an environmental concern. A study was conducted to assess the potential for runoff of seventeen different hormones and two sterols, including androgens, estrogens, and progestogens from agricultural test plots. The field containing the test plots had been applied with bi...
متن کاملPhosphorus runoff from waste water treatment biosolids and poultry litter applied to agricultural soils.
Differences in the properties of organic phosphorus (P) sources, particularly those that undergo treatment to reduce soluble P, can affect soil P solubility and P transport in surface runoff. This 2-yr field study investigated soil P solubility and runoff P losses from two agricultural soils in the Mid-Atlantic region after land application of biosolids derived from different waste water treatm...
متن کاملNitric oxide emissions from soils amended with municipal waste biosolids
Land spreading nitrogen-rich municipal waste biosolids (NO3 -No256mg Nkg 1 dry weight, NH3-NB23,080mg Nkg 1 dry weight, Total Kjeldahl NB41,700mg Nkg 1 dry weight) to human food and non-food chain land is a practice followed throughout the US. This practice may lead to the recovery and utilization of the nitrogen by vegetation, but it may also lead to emissions of biogenic nitric oxide (NO), wh...
متن کاملMobilization of endocrine-disrupting chemicals and estrogenic activity in simulated rainfall runoff from land-applied biosolids.
Municipal biosolids are commonly applied to land as soil amendment or fertilizer as a form of beneficial reuse of what could otherwise be viewed as waste. Balanced against this benefit are potential risks to groundwater and surface water quality from constituents that may be mobilized during storm events. The objective of the present study was to characterize the mobilization of selected endocr...
متن کاملMunicipal Solid Waste Performance Indicators
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper introduces a framework developed for the waste management sector supported by Performance Indicators. It was designed in order to be coherent and articulate and to enable full integration of its information. These indicators proved to be a useful management tool. This framework includes 167 performance indicators (PI) divided into two types of information: 58 Contex...
