Factors affecting quality of compost produced from
agricultural waste: assessment of risk
(EN)
Agricultural wastes (AW) are often characterized by rather low pH and substantial contamination
potential which is usually related to their high organic load, affecting thus living organisms, soils, water
bodies and plants when improperly disposed of. Composting of AW is the most commonly used management
option which results in minimization of the risk for soil, water and ecosystems while the final product can
be used as soil improver to enhance crop growth due to its nutrient content. However, various parameters
should be taken into consideration in order to select the most appropriate composting method and define the
optimum use of the final product. In the present paper, selected parameters such as optimal conditions for
compost production, application rates of compost on soil, limit values for concentrations of heavy metals in
soil as well as risk for humans exposed to various recalcitrant compounds contained in treated or untreated
AW, are presented and discussed. Pre-treatment of AW, careful application on soils, use of standardized
procedures to evaluate toxicity and determination of the fate of contaminants in soil and water will improve
sustainability in agriculture and minimize impacts on ecosystems and human health.
