DEATH FROM SEWER SLUDGE
UPDATE - 8-21-17: An Overview of the Dangers of Sewer sludge (Biosolids) by Thomas Maler, Ph.D.
Many thanks to Luca Vincent for her input on Facebook regarding sewer sludge/biosolids pollution.
Luca Vincent - It is so important to remember that sewer sludge aka biosolids is NOT just poop - it is a concentration of all domestic and industrial pollutants that go down drains and sewers. It has some good stuff in it, which plants can use, but a huge load of thousands of other contaminants. Please read what independent scientists have to say on this issue -
Three Informed Views on Sewer Sludge (aka Biosolids)
Dr. Caroline Snyder - "Land-applied municipal sewage sludge (biosolids) is a highly complex and unpredictable mixture of biological and chemical pollutants. Biosolids generated in our large industrialized urban centers is very likely the most pollutant- rich waste mixture of the 21st century."
Dr. Marilyn Cameron - "We are concerned that farmers are not being provided adequate information about biosolids and the negative impacts that its use could have on your soils, groundwater and surface water sources, livestock health, and property values. Farmers will be the ones left paying the price for any damaged land, contaminated water, or human, wildlife and livestock illnesses, etc. Farmers may also suffer losses resulting from lack of consumer confidence in local foods"
Dr. Richard Honour - ""Few in any governments appreciate that nearly all chronic diseases are caused by long-term exposure to low levels of environmental contaminants and pollutants. We should be trying to minimize this exposure, not amplifying it. It is time to end land disposal of Toxic Sewer sludge, and look at cleaner, greener alternatives - gasification / pyrolysis."
Let's get on the right side of history, and use this waste resource to make energy. It is time to stop covering Mother Earth with our cities' toxic sewage.

lets get energy out of this resource AND rid the environment of these toxins.
Why does Jackson County Alabama have a high cancer rate? Sewer Sludge is but one reason, it is the total waste of individual and corporate America. It is poison and not all of the contaminants can be removed. Cancer death rate of Jackson County Alabama and the entire state from the National Cancer Institute.

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management, the Health Department, the Legislative Delegation, the Jackson County Commission have all been contacted. Politicians and public officials seem to not be concerned about this pollution problem, or give lip service to this problem without resolution.
Area of Sludge Contamination is Large, area within the yellow line.
