The paper attempts to clarify the criteria for determining the effectiveness of wastewater irrigation based on the analysis of the response of microbial activity of the soil to the concentration of some hazardous substances that may be in the water. The authors attribute this to the fact that, according to experience, the use of reclamation measures in agricultural irrigation fields does not always fully consider the danger of suppression of the soil microbiome by components such as organochlorine substances (carcinogens) and aluminum salts in the structure of reagents used in wastewater pretreatment processes. It is proved that the orientation of soil educational processes ultimately determines the probability of development and the degree of soil degradation, therefore, the most important point is the assessment of the living conditions of soil microorganisms that mainly cause these processes. The absence of factors, suppression of the activity of the soil microbiome may be the main indicator in assessing the optimality of these conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
