Abstract
The quality of composted sewage sludge and corresponding soil improvers were evaluated by chemical and biological methods. The composts and soil improvers differed considerably according to their content of main nutrients, organic contaminants and degree of acute toxicity. In contrast, the phytotoxicity test did not differentiate the studied samples in terms of product quality.
