Present restrictions of sewage sludge application in agriculture within the European Union
Original language description
The use of sludge in agriculture within the European Union (EU) is currently regulated only by the limits of heavy metals listed in 86/278/EEC. Several European countries have introduced more stringent requirements and have adopted limits for concentrations of other heavy metals, synthetic organic compounds and microbial contamination. The paper provides an overview of the current limits of these substances in sewage sludge and concentration limits of heavy metals in soil intended for sludge application, together with applicable laws and regulations in EU countries. There is a need to update these regulations taking into account the current risks, with the possibility of using ecotoxicological tests to assess the risks. The use of sewage sludge in agriculture in 2014 and 2015 in 13 EU countries that provided data amounted to 22.6% (2014) and 22.1% (2015) of produced sludge and 23.3% (2014) and 23.1% (2015) of sludge disposed.
