Brazil is one of the largest agricultural producers in the world and, as a result, stands out in the significant generation of agro-industrial waste, which is usually incorrectly disposed of. One of these massively generated residues is filter cake (FC), a mixture of decantation sludge and sugarcane bagasse, which presents high levels of organic matter and minerals. However, when applied …
Sewage sludge is a residue resulting from the wastewater treatment process. Due to its increasing production and toxic composition, its correct management is essential to avoid harmful effects on the environment. Among the possible alternatives for a more sustainable destination for this residue, there is its use as a conditioner of agricultural soils due to the possibility of reusing its…
Due to the growing demand for food, the world consumption of pesticides has grown considerably in recent years in an attempt to provide an increase in agricultural productivity from the reduction of losses because of the presence of pests. Brazil, one of the largest agricultural producers and exporters, is one of the five countries that most consume pesticides in the world. Among them, Ze…

Sewage Sludge (SS) is a residue generated during the wastewater treatment process. Due to its increasing production, in the order of tons, its disposal has become one of the main environmental problems nowadays. As SS is a compound rich in organic matter and nutrients, some authors propose that it can be used as an agricultural additive, allowing the reduction of costs with its landfill, …
Sewage sludge (SS) is a residue derived from Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) that has a high pollution potential of soil. However, due to the high content of organic matter and nutrients, the SS is an excellent material for using as an agricultural fertilizer. However, the presence of toxic substances, such as estrogenic and dioxin-like ones, can cause serious impacts to the environme…
Poor management of human activities has caused serious impacts to ecosystems, thus affecting their quality and maintenance of environmental conditions. One problem that has been dogged in recent decades is the final disposal of waste generated in the sewage treatment process, particularly sewage sludge, which may contain toxic substances like heavy metals and organic substances, as well a…
Sewage sludge (SS), a waste generated in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs), presents a high agronomic potential due to the presence of organic matter, macronutrients, and micronutrients, encouraging its recycling in agriculture as a soil conditioner. However, the presence of toxic substances can preclude this practice. Among these substances, the endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) re…
