PD CEN/TR 15809:2008 Characterization of sludges. Hygienic aspects. Treatments
When making choices in sludge management the hygienic aspects should be considered alongside the environmental impacts of treatments (such as energy use or emissions) and the benefits of the final product. Sludge treatments and practices that control health risks can also affect odour; in the public’s mind they are linked.
PD CEN/TR 15809 is a technical report which gives information about principles to be followed in different sludge treatment processes to reach specified hygienic requirements.
