Data Availability and Techniques to Formulate EoW Criteria

The extensive scientific understanding available on land application of
bioresources can be used to establish EoW criteria to maximise recycling
of these materials as fully recovered fertilisers and soil conditioning
products and by-products.

Key factors to be considered in EoW criteria include treatment, pathogens,
potentially toxic elements and organic contaminants.

Risk assessment techniques can bring together the technical data into a
comprehensive framework for evaluating EoW criteria and limits, but
depend heavily on the type of research data and the assumptions used.
