How are biosolids viewed in the scientific community?
Independent scientists worldwide have reviewed extensive data on the safety and environmental effects of biosolids use. The data includes findings from thousands of field trials and laboratory experiments conducted over previous decades. From this data, as well as current and ongoing research, scientists have reached overwhelming agreement about the benefits of biosolids use. When biosolids are applied in accordance with strict governmental guidelines, scientists are in agreement that biosolids pose negligible risk to the public and the environment.
