Sewage sludge as an uncalled for product of wastewater treatment
poses the challenge to society of disposing of it. Application of
sewage sludge to agricultural land may be beneficial because it can
improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils
which may enhance crop growth. While, sewage sludge contains
various heavy metals and it contains a wide variety of pathogens
and can be infectious for different species of animals and plants
as well as for humans. Consequently environmentally sound decisions
need to be based on an integrative evaluation of contaminant
sources and transfer pathways. It is a need of time that
phytoremediation must be approached as a multidisciplinary research
effort. Success will ultimately depend on the employment of a
holistic approach to integrate the work of plant biologist, soil
microbiologist, agronomists, and environmental engineers.
