Fate and effect of herbicides on co-composting process of green waste and sewage sludge

The fate and effect of herbicides such as linuron and metribuzin during sewage sludge and green waste co-composting were addressed in this work. A mixture of sludge and green waste was prepared at a ratio of 1:5 v/v. The mixture was split in four equal parts and the two herbicides were added, using a pressure sprayer, as sole or mixed pollutant in each of the three mixtures.

The forth mixture was composted without any addition of herbicide, to serve as control. Temperature,physicochemical characteristics, herbicides concentration and microbiological parameters were measured either daily or every time the mixtures were turned, for a period of 80 days. Both herbicides concentration decreased significantly resulting to removal efficiencies of 99.1-99.7% and 95.8-96.0 % for linuron and metribuzin, respectively. Comparison of the variation of physicochemical parameters and microbial populations during composting indicated that both herbicides did not affect the composting process.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
