Are there bacteria and pathogens in biosolids?
Biosolids undergo a month-long heated and biological process at Halton’s wastewater treatment plants that stabilize the product to the point where there is limited additional biological activity. Almost all of the pathogens in wastewater are eliminated through the treatment process. Any pathogens that are left are further reduced when exposed to the natural elements during storage and when land applied at the farmer’s field.
