Book Pathogen Risk Assessment for Land Application of Municipal Sludge

Download or read book Pathogen Risk Assessment for Land Application of Municipal Sludge written by U. S. Environmental Protection Agency and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

Book Pathogen Risk Assessment for Land Application of Municipal Sludge

Download or read book Pathogen Risk Assessment for Land Application of Municipal Sludge written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document describes a methodology and associated computer model for assessing the risk to humans of pathogens in treated municipal sewage sludge applied to land. Land application of sludge in this methodology refers to the distribution of sludge on or just below the soild surface where it is employed as a fertilizer or soil conditioner for growing human food-chain and non-food-chain crops. The two categories of land application addressed in this model are (1) agricultural utilization and (2) distribution and marketing (D&M), and the source of microbial pathogens is (1) liquid or (2) dried or composted municipal sewage sludge.

Book Microbiological Risk Assessment for Land Application of Municipal Sludge

Download or read book Microbiological Risk Assessment for Land Application of Municipal Sludge written by M. Baseheart and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each major option for the disposal/reuse of municipal sludges poses potential risks to human health or the environment because of the microbial contaminants in sludge. Therefore, risk assessment methodology appropriate for pathogen risk evaluation for land application and distribution and marketing (D&M) options was developed. A computer model was designed to aid in sludge management by comparing the risks of alternatives as sludge is applied to cropland and grazed pasture as a fertilizer and/or soil conditioner. The model integrates microbial dose-response information with the number of pathogens likely to be present in exposure pathways. Interpretations from risk assessment model outputs were made.

Book Preliminary Risk Assessment for Parasites in Municipal Sewage Sludge Applied to Land

Download or read book Preliminary Risk Assessment for Parasites in Municipal Sewage Sludge Applied to Land written by United States. Environmental Protection Agency. Office of Health and Environmental Assessment and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 3 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This preliminary risk assessment focuses on the probability of human infection from protozoa and halminths, usually referred to as parasites, in municipal sewage sludge applied to land. It is based on the Pathogen Risk Assessment computer model and methodology described in Pathogen Risk Assessment for Land Application of Municipal Sludge. The report documents (1) the results of a literature review designed to find data on parasites required by the pathogens methodology, and (2) the results of numerous site-specific computer simulations, running the Pathogen Risk Assessment model with a wide range of values for the parameters required. The parameters required for parasites are density in sludge, transport and die-off rates in environmental media, and minimum infective dose. Locations selected for site-specific application of the model included counties in California, Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, Tennessee, and Washington. Model runs predicted probabilities of infection of a human receptor exposed to pathogenic parasites by a variety of pathways arising from the use of sludge-amended soil to grow vegetable crops, lawns, or forage for cattle used for meat or milk. Data gaps are identified and research priorities are recommended.
