28 Long-term Sludge Experiments Independent Scientific Committee Reviewing the Soil Fertility Aspects of Sludge Application to Land (1993) recommended: further research was needed to examine the effects of heavy metals from sewage sludge on soil microorganisms Effects of sewage sludge applications to agricultural soils on soil microbial activity and the implications for agricultural productivity and long term soil fertility Aim to improve the robustness of scientific information for setting soil metal limits not possible to identify unequivocally which (if any) heavy metal in sewage sludge was responsible for adverse impacts Page 28 of soil microbial activity (Zn, Cu and Cd)

31 Overview of Results Sludge cake sites: Microbial biomass and rhizobia decreased at some of the sites with increasing soil Cu and Zn Liquid sludge and metal salt sites: Decrease in microbial biomass due to Cu similar to cake sites No consistent microbial biomass response to Zn No consistent rhizobia response to Zn, Cu or Cd Page 31
32 Why are Cakes Toxic but not Salts?? Localised high metal concentration Sludge particles contain toxic amounts of metals? 6000 mg kg -1 Zn (x10 normal value) 5000 mg kg -1 Cu (x16 normal value Average soil concentration does not represent exposure to soil microbes Metal salts/liquid sludges blend more uniformly in soil profile Average soil concentration does represent exposure to soil microbes Page 32
33 Overall Conclusion from Long-Term Trials Current operational practice is safe and nonhazardous to the soil microbial community Apparent toxicity of the cake sludges explained by localised exposure to high metal concentrations On basis of salt and liquid sludge plots, current EU maximum soil limits protect soil microbial processes and long-term soil fertility Setting the results of SP0130 in a policy context (Defra 2007) Immediate regulatory changes as a result of the experimental results are unwarranted Page 33
34 Other Issues and Recent Research Other elements eg Pt group, Ag Predicting metal availability: Variability of extractable and soil solution measurements may limit prediction of metal availability Total soil metal preferred + other soil variables Model parameters include: ph, organic matter, clay minerals, CEC Australian National Biosolids Research Programme proposals Renewed interest in CEC (eg Oorts et al 2006; Rooney et al 2007) Surrogate for other soil parameters Thoroughly investigated and dismissed as reliable predictor by earlier research for biosolids-amended soil Microbial biomass questioned as a robust indicator (Broos et al 2007) Problems due to small-scale spatial heterogeneity Use of metal salts to determine affects of soil properties on toxicity (eg Smolders et al 2004; Oorts et al 2006; Rooney et al 2007) Careful interpretation in terrestrial risk assessment and relevance to biosolids Page 34
35 Conclusions Reduce diffuse metal inputs as far as practicable Research defined metal limits are realistic and pragmatic Protect crop yields, human diet and soil fertility Excessively precautionary approach is not justified by available scientific evidence Current EU Directive controls on metals offer flexibility and appear safe and precautionary Page 35
