How Biosolids Can Be Dangerous For Agriculture

We know that biosolids are used as a substitute for the fertilizer that we already use. Many people see this as a good thing and many people see this as a bad thing. In this blog I will talk about the advantages and disadvantages as well as determining if this is the best possible solution.


Let's talk about some advantages first. First of all, we know that it's a fertilizer, so one good thing is that it is a free fertilizer. By doing this then it will promote farming and also create jobs for many people. It can also reduce the emissions from transportation to landfills as well as recycling instead of filling it up. Biosolids will reclaim land and also cost less to dispose of. It is also legal since it is in the regulation of EPA law 503. These are just a few advantages of biosolids, but now lets look at some of the disadvantages.


So now we move on to disadvantages and let us see why this is hurting the environment. First of all, its a health hazard and it may even contain hazardous chemicals. Even if it reclaims land, it will however make the land drop in price. It may even be transferable to crops. What it is really made of is unknown to anyone so it makes it even more of a threat. Whatever it causes, it will be irreversible. After a long period of time the contamination will accumulate into toxic waste. It also has really bad odour and is also not sufficiently regulated. Here are only a few of the many reasons that biosolids must be taken out of use.


Lastly lets talk about who would want to have a share in this and if this a good idea or a bad idea. Some stakholders of biosolids are coming from the municipal, provincial, federal and territorial agencies that are agreeing on this. They want to use enviromental benefits to help us, but they should know that they are hurting the earth rather than helping it. They don't know exactly what biosolids are and this in turn is like putting some random ingredient in the food you eat. This is why biosolids are a bad substitute for the normal agriculture ethics we do.

Importance of Various Technologies

If it wasn't for technology, then our lives wouldn't be moving as fast. Thanks to technology, it has made locations closer and the world a smaller place to live. Electricity is the one thing that has powered up technology and has also lightened up our communities. Technology has also allowed us to use renewable energy to keep producing electricity. Natural water is now able to reach homes due to the advancement of technology throughout the world. We are also able to preserve and process food. Technology has also advanced the use of communication from pigeons carrying messages, to emails and instant messages.

Many people have also asked themselves "Why is technology important today", especially that everyone uses it everywhere. Technology was made slowly but did show a lot of promise from the early years. The start of the development was called "evolution". As the human race developed, so did technology to make the human life easier. Technology was also adapting to the environment that was growing with it. The Internet however is the biggest development for the human race. Medical technology has also been used to save many of our friends and family over time.

Technology is the one thing that no one is able to get away from. You can say that it is really the answer to all of Mankind's problems. It gives us comfort throughout our lives, as well as giving us the easy way in life. The faster speed that the world is moving at, then the faster technology will evolve. Take the laptop for example. Each year, it gets smaller and more compact each year while it gains more capabilities as well as performing at its best. With there being many developments, this has allowed scientists to make improvements of technology that we have today.
