Sludge Application

An experiment to examine the use of sewage sludge as a fertiliser for pole-stage Corsican pine (Pinusnigra var. maritima (Ait.) Melville) is described. Dominant and codominant trees responded markedly to additions of sludge at rates of 200 and 400 m3•ha−1, increasing sawlog volume by over 50% in treated plots. Foliar analyses suggest that the trees have responded to phosphorus in the sludge. The greatest impact of sludge on the soil occurred in the litter layer; concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, copper, cadmium, and lead were all greater compared with concentrations of untreated controls. Nevertheless, at rates of sludge application appropriate to fertilising (200 m3•ha−1), additions of heavy metals are considered small and are unlikely to cause adverse environmental effects.

The Cost

The need for further research on the environmental effects of sewage sludge disposed of at sea is examined with particular reference to conditions in the UK. Additional expenditure on monitoring and research appears to be justitied Dy comparison with the cost to dischargers of adopting alternative means of disposal. Research should be directed to improving methods of predicting the effects of increased discharges at selected sites and to understanding the behaviour of specific components of sludge which are not degraded in the sea. It is concluded that improved information should be obtained about (a) relative inputs of pollutants from land-based sources in some areas, (b) the physical processes controlling dispersion, sedimentation, and degradation of sludge particulates, (c) the mobilisation of conservative substances from sludge, and (d) the role of nutrients and other substances in sludge in the development of certain algal blooms.
