Schools, hospitals, dry cleaners and industries of all sorts send their waste water to the same treatment plants, and that’s the problem. Pesticides, PCBs, dioxins, radioactive wastes, asbestos, heavy metals and petroleum compounds are what’s in sludge AFTER it has been treated.</p> <p>Another reason to read the label on your amendments especially for the food garden.</p> <p>A few of the arguments here:<br /> <a href="http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/3528/the-sludge-report-using-recycled-municipal-wastewater-solids-as-a-soil-amendment" title="Vegetablegardener.com">Vegetablegardener.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.mofga.org/Publications/MaineOrganicFarmerGardener/Fall2003/Sludge/tabid/1447/Default.aspx" title="Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners ">Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners </a><br /> <a href="http://www.cprm.gov.br/pgagem/Manuscripts/nollm.htm" title="State University of New York">State University of New York</a></p> <p><b>whatever</b><br /> <a href="http://www.prwatch.org/node/8982" title="PRWatch.org">PRWatch.org</a>—Toxic sludge taints the White House garden. </p> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/coupon_spot.jpg" alt="Visit dirtdujour.com" width="225" height="147" border="0" /></a></td> <td style="padding-left: 15px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_sponsored.jpg" alt="Sponsored" width="219" height="58" /> </td> </tr> </table></td> <td align="center" valign="top" style="width: 120px; padding: 20px 0 0 12px;"><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/sign_up/"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_sign_up.gif" alt="Email Sign Up" border="0" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"/></a><br /> <a href="http://www.tomatofest.com/" target="_blank" title="Click to visit Tomato Fest"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/tomatofest2.png" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="126" height="250" /></a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dirtcouture.com/see-whats-new/african-violet-globe" target="_blank" title="Click to visit dirt couture"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/uploads/dcadsmall.png" style="border: 0;" alt="image" width="125" height="250" /></a> </td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#714300" style="color: #2c170b; padding-bottom: 10px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_compostpile.gif" alt="Compost Pile" width="600" height="56" /> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="padding-left: 20px;"> <tr> <td> <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/raise_your_hand_if_youve_got/" style="color: #be7c4f">Raise your hand if you’ve got….</a>, May 18, 2012.<br /> <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/you_can_do_this_/" style="color: #be7c4f">You can do this ...</a>, May 17, 2012.<br /> <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/dr_huey_strikes_again/" style="color: #be7c4f">Dr. Huey strikes again</a>, May 16, 2012.<br /> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="#2c170b" style="color: #8e5503; padding-bottom: 10px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_dirt.gif" alt="" /> <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/sign_up/" style="color: #8e5503">Subscribe</a> | <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/sign_up/#unsubscribe" style="color: #8e5503">Unsubscribe</a> | <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/about/#policies" style="color: #8e5503">Editorial and Privacy Policies</a> | <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/contact/" style="color: #8e5503">Contact</a> <br /> 17602 17th Street, Suite 102 #142 Tustin, Ca. 92780-7915<br /> All contents © 2012 Dirt Du Jour</td> </tr> </table> <br /> <br /> <br /> </body> </html>
