Science Forum on Biosolids
Nova Scotia Environment and Labour hosted a Science Forum on Biosolids on June 13, 2005. This forum provided an excellent opportunity for learning about the latest science and research on biosolids.
Eight experts/speakers delivered presentations of about 25 minutes each, followed by a question and answer session, on four different topics:
- science and research
- health risks
- agricultural perspective
- experiences and innovative approaches
