Management of Organic Residuals, Soil Improvers and Growing Media

Assessment, processing and recycling of organic residuals have been a matter of concern ever since the advent of settled communities. This book considers the different approaches to the management of these materials, the characteristics that make them useful and the technologies that are available for their treatment, recycling or disposal. Hazards associated with organic residuals are described, and a chapter is devoted to risk management. Chemical, physical and biological methods of analysis - critical for the purposes of either monitoring, use or disposal - are detailed. Additional chapters cover life cycle assessment and legislative matters.Thompson, K.
