Problem or Resource - Why It Is Important For the Environment to Keep Track of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Carbon in Wastewater and Sludge Management

Improved life cycle modelling of benefits from sewage sludge anaerobic digestion and land application

“…Six impact categories were assessed, using the following mid-point indicators: global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential (AP), freshwater, marine and terrestrial eutrophication potential (EP) and photo-oxidant formation potential (POFP), using the characterisation methods recommended by the ILCD Handbook (EC-JRC, 2011). These impact categories were selected because of their relevance for assessing N, P and C benefits from resource utilisation from sludge, in accordance with Svanström et al (2015). If the system were assessed for other purposes, e.g.…”
