The researchers studied biosolids from wastewater treatment plants in Western Greece to see if they could be used in agriculture. They used various methods like TGA, ICP-OES, and SEM to analyze the biosolids. The biosolids were found to have metals like iron, zinc, and manganese, which were within safe levels. They also contained organic matter with long chains and functional groups, making them suitable for agricultural use.
