lodo-esgoto

A destinação adequada do lodo de esgoto (LE) interfere, direta ou indiretamente, na vida de toda a sociedade. No Brasil, o lodo de esgoto é geralmente disposto em aterros sanitários, quando estes existem. Além do alto custo, que pode representar até 50% do custo operacional de uma estação de tratamento de esgoto (ETE), a disposição deste resíduo, com elevada carga orgânica, agrava ainda mais o problema do manejo do lixo urbano. A reciclagem da matéria orgânica e dos nutrientes presentes neste resíduo é o principal benefício para o ambiente, que pode substituir parcialmente também o uso de adubos químicos.

No momento em que foram criados os estudos de longo prazo em condições edafo-climáticas brasileiras eram incipientes para servirem como única base para o  estabelecimento de uma norma nacional e a Resolução foi criada tendo como base os resultados preliminares das pesquisas nacionais disponíveis e normas de outros países. A fim de permitir o aprimoramento da regulamentação, na própria resolução foi prevista sua revisão para sete anos após sua publicação. Este volume baseia-se nos resultados do Workshop sediado no Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, no dias 19 e 20 de maio de 2009, em Campinas – SP , acrescido de outras opiniões técnicas. Os assuntos relacionados foram abordados por pesquisadores e técnicos capacitados envolvidos há tempos com a questão do uso agrícola do lodo de esgoto no Brasil. Os palestrantes estrangeiros convidados foram o Dr. Michael Warne da C-Siro (Austrália) e o Dr. Anthony Hay da Cornell University (USA).
