I should like to add a word about sewage sludge, which is the subject of sharp controversy in Germany.

The Commission proposal contains provisions for the purification of municipal sewage, and of comparable industrial waste waters, and for the removal of the sewage sludge. What we need, however, are official data.

There are now 20 EC legal acts concerned with cadmium, such as the limit values for cadmium drainage into water or the limit value for the cadmium content of sewage sludge or of batteries.

Sewage often pollutes the ocean.

The chant was We don t want incineration!

As the incineration of those materials did not produce more harmful emissions than incineration of regular fuels (coal, oil, peat moss) incineration could be carried out without undermining strict health and environment safety requirements.

Ashes from the incineration of insulated copper wire

Firstly, concerning the deadline for the discharge of sludge.

Sludge no longer has any place in the sea.

As the proportion of the flue gas from waste incineration increases the emission limit values approach those required for waste incineration plants.

In Germany 92 of the population is connected to the public sewage system and 84 to public mechanical and biological sewage plants.

But, of course, they don't look like rocks and sludge now.

Don't worry, the ecoactivist tells journalists. You'll see plenty of oil sludge to photograph today.

Michael Pritchard Okay. We've got some runoff from a sewage plant farm.

When she came into my life, we were fighting against a huge waste facility planned for the East River waterfront, despite the fact that our small part of New York City already handled more than 40 percent of the entire city's commercial waste a sewage treatment pelletizing plant, a sewage sludge plant, four power plants, the world's largest food distribution center, as well as other industries that bring more than 60,000 diesel truck trips to the area each week.

Water and sewage systems are failing garbage is piling up in the streets.

It is pointed out in the report, and was confirmed by the Commissioner, that only half of the Community's inhabitants have their sewage treated, that 250 towns with more than 10 000 inhabitants have no sewage treatment plants and that two European capitals still have no sewage treatment facilities at all.

The technology in question involves incineration at 1 200 degrees, but is not particularly efficient.

Furthermore, we still favour the earliest possible ban on discharging sludge into the sea, and we hope that the Commission will soon initiale a study on the Community wide environmental effects of the alternatives to discharging sludge and outfalls along the coast.

MNCR started building its power in the way that so many other groups have done by stopping incineration.

Grassroots communities of the Philippines and Australia have been supporting each other in a common fight against incineration.

At high energy efficiency incineration could be as favourable as mechanical recycling or composting of certain waste flows.

The Philippines stands out as the only country to have banned incineration, setting this important precedent 15 years ago.

Primitive approaches to managing sewage continue to spread infections such as schistosomiasis, trachoma, viral hepatitis, and cholera.

It can wash the sludge off high mountain peaks and hills, down into the lowlands. So stop and think for a minute.

Frankly, Mr President, neither the straightforward dumping of raw sewage nor the use of long outfall pipes is the answer.

Many rivers, lakes, estuaries and even sea coasts are polluted by constant discharges of municipal sewage and industrial waste waters.

And if we jam nutrients, sewage, fertilizer in the base of that food pyramid, it can back up all through it.

If you flush a toilet, your feces will go to the sewage treatment plants, which are sold as assets, not liabilities.

I also proposed bringing forward the date for introducing a ban on the dumping of sludge in the North Sea, which is a real scandal.

In addition to being a major contributor to climate change, incineration releases cancer causing toxins, kills jobs, and violates the principles of environmental justice.

Long outfall pipes are simply the sewage equivalent of tall chimneys in S02 pollution. They have the effect of simply shifting the

That is the basic principle which we Liberals, who believe in the polluter pays principle, also want to see applied to sewage.

I realize full well that we shall encounter many problems because relatively small municipalities will need to be connected to the sewage system.

If we look around us, much of what surrounds us started life as various rocks and sludge buried in the ground in various places in the world.

As this own initiative opinion shows, there is every reason to have doubts about the use of sludge on farm land in view of its present quality.

When the incineration company Usina Verde rolled into Sao Paolo in 2002, it was widely expected that their incinerator proposal would move forward quickly and easily.

To form part of the modern economy, firms and households need access to networks that deliver water and dispose of sewage and solid waste.

For this region, which has 50,000 residents, in summer sees its population soar to a million and the sewage treatment plants simply cannot cope.

Recycling of plastic in many developing countries means the incineration of the plastic, the burning of the plastic, which releases incredible toxic chemicals and, once again, kills people.

(The President declared approved the common as amended) than conventional incineration reduction, hightemperature gasification are markedly more efficient and destroy 30 to 50 times more of the compounds concerned.

On their website, the ecologists claim the trackers spilled out directly into the open air waterways outside the building, without encountering even the most rudimentary sewage filtration.

In November last year, a team of ecologists used GPS trackers to sniff out the city s polluted waterways, discovering rivers of untreated sewage flowing into Neva Bay.

There will be those who claim that sewage treatment is too expensive and that there is not enough money in the public coffers to spend on it.
