Abstract

The storage of wastewater sludge as a possible low-cost means of pathogen reduction prior to its beneficial reuse was examined. However, after a 12 month storage period levels of Salmonella, faecal coliforms and streptococci, and Giardia cysts were too high for simple storage to be considered an adequate treatment option.
