“…Application of MSW compost improves the soil organic matter as well as it improves the physical, chemical and biological properties by supplying organic matter (Logan et al, 1997;Cala et al, 2005;Roca-Perez et al, 2009;Baldantoni et al, 2010). The use of MSW compost as an amendment in soils is also considered as an option for conserving organic matter levels in soils (Barral et al, 2009).…”

Agricultural application of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), as nutrient source for plants and as soil conditioner, is the most cost-effective option of MSW management because of its advantages over traditional means such as landfilling or incineration. However, agricultural application of MSW can lead to a potential environmental threat due to the presence of pathogens and toxic pollutants. Composting is an attractive alternative of MSW recycling. Application of MSW compost (MSWC) in agricultural soils can directly alter soil physicochemical properties as well as promote plant growth. The soil microbial biomass, considered as the living part of soil organic matter, is very closely related to the soil organic matter content in many arable agricultural soils. Numerous studies, with different MSWC amendment doses on different soil types and under different water regimes revealed no detrimental effect on soil microbial biomass. In this review, we show the state of art about the effects of MSWC amendment on soil microbial biomass.

The application of sewage sludge as an organic amendment on crops can be one of the main sources of soil contamination by heavy metals. The accumulation of heavy metals can cause adverse effects on soils as well as present a potential risk for the environment [1][2]. Their toxicity depends on the dose applied and other factors, such as the pH of sewage sludge. Also, it is known that other micro-pollutants present in these wastes can cause Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 26, No. 5 (2017), 1935-1941 Review AbstractThis work studied the use of thistle (Cynara cardunculus L) in order to phytoextract heavy metals from polluted soils due to the application of high rates of thermally dried sewage sludge (TDS). Total and available heavy metals content (Pb, Cd, Cu, Ni, Zn, and Cr) in soil, aerial and root biomass, and extracted heavy metals by both biomasses were analysed. The sewage sludge rate showed a significant difference (p<0.05) in thistle aerial and root biomass. The highest aerial biomass (36.87 g d.w.) was obtained with the sewage sludge 100 t ha -1 and the lowest with the control (27.84 g d.w.). In relation to root biomass, the highest value was observed in control (2.65 g d.w.) and the lowest in the sewage sludge 100 t ha -1 (0.86 g d.w.). The content of total and available heavy metals in the soil increased for Zn and Cu with increasing sludge doses. The same trend was observed for the available Ni. However, Pb and Cd showed a different response as their availability in the soil decreased. The phytoextraction potential of heavy metals by thistle aerial biomass decreased with increasing rates of sewage sludge. Maximum extraction was achieved by using sewage sludge 50 t ha -1 in Cd>Ni> Pb>Zn>Cu>Cr.
