“…Sewage sludge can also be used in processes related to environmental protection, such as reclamation of degraded land, neutralisation of harmful substances, removal of pollutants from groundwater or soil reclamation (Ciuła et al, 2019;Joniec et al, 2019b). Research in this field focuses on assessing the effec-tiveness of sewage sludge use in various environmental protection processes and assessing their impact on soil, water, and air quality (Joniec et al, 2019a). For example, Halecki et al (2022) examined the use of artificial soil substrate in the reclamation of mining waste and its impact on plant metabolic functions.…”

The purpose of the article is to demonstrate practices used to supervise the use of sewage sludge for agricultural purposes. The presented research and conclusions are a trend analysis and are not to be used to penalise entities. Sewage sludge, which comes from the illegal dumping of wastewater into municipal wastewater by industrial plants, contains large amounts of heavy metals. Treatment plants transfer the sludge for agricultural use. Regulations specifically restrict the mode and conditions for such use of sludge. Methods: the research was carried out using a proprietary questionnaire, which is a supplement to the reporting questionnaire of the National Urban Wastewater Treatment Program implemented by the State Water Company "Wody Polskie". Results: The survey was conducted at 208 wastewater treatment plants in Poland. The results show that the majority of wastewater treatment plants do not properly supervise the process of introducing sewage sludge into the soil. They also lack supervision of how much heavy metals from wastewater are introduced into the soil. This means that there is a very high risk of contamination of agricultural soils. The results obtained could initiate a detailed analysis of this phenomenon in Poland. A comprehensive study of the scale of the practice and its current effects is required to determine the actual condition of soil treated with sewage sludge.

“…On the other hand, Joniec et al (2019a) studied a field reclamation experiment established in the former "Jeziórko" Sulphur Mine (Poland). To perform soil reclamation in one application, different combinations of sewage sludge, mineral wool, post-flotation lime, and mineral fertilisers were introduced into degraded soil.…”

“…Waste such as sewage sludge, post-flotation lime, and mineral wool provide nutrients for plants and soil microorganisms and can be utilised to enhance the quality of soil [41]. The vegetation cover in degraded areas is well known for its many functions that are necessary in the reclamation process [42][43][44].…”

“…Malizia et al [61] indicated that PTEs accumulated at high concentrations may impair plant physiology by reducing growth or respiration, restricting photosynthetic processes and inhibiting fundamental enzymatic reactions. Application of waste to degraded soil induced changes not only in the number of microbial groups, but also in their respiratory and enzymatic activities [41]. Enzymatic activity is one of the parameters used in soil monitoring and soil quality assessment [62].…”

This study examined the use of an artificial soil substrate in a mine waste reclamation area and its effect on plant metabolic functions. Research was conducted by determining the relationship between the plants’ biochemical features and the properties of plant growth medium derived from post-flotation coal waste, sewage sludge, crushed stone and fly ash on the surface of the mine waste disposal area. Trees and shrubs were established on the material and allowed to grow for eight years. The study determined that the applied plants and the naturally occurring Taraxacum officinale were suitable for physio-biochemical assessment, identification of derelict areas and reclamation purposes. An evaluation of a soil substrate applied to post-mining areas indicated that it was beneficial for plant growth since it activated the metabolic functions of herbaceous plants, shrubs, and trees. The study showed that soil substrate can be targeted to improve plant stress tolerance to potentially toxic elements (PTEs). These data suggest the potential for growth and slower susceptible response to Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn. It is possible that the constructed soil-substitute substrate (biosolid material) would be an effective reclamation treatment in areas where natural soil materials are polluted by PTEs. This observation may reflect a more efficient use of soil substrate released from the cycling of organic biogene pools, in accordance with the circular economy approach. In further studies related to land reclamation using sewage sludge amendments, it would be necessary to extend the research to other stress factors, such as salinity or water deficiency.

“…Issues such as leaching of hazardous substances, underground fires, and greenhouse gas emissions have been well-documented [10][11][12][13][14][15]. In densely populated areas, landfill sites pose a public health risk and limit city expansions [16][17][18]. Modern landfill site designs focus on controlling and treating emissions from the waste body, highlighting the need for effective monitoring systems [19,20].…”

This research presents a novel stand-alone device for the autonomous measurement of gas pressure levels on an active landfill site, which enables the real-time monitoring of gas dynamics and supports the early detection of critical events. The developed device employs advanced sensing technologies and wireless communication capabilities, enabling remote data transmission and access via the Internet. Through extensive field experiments, we demonstrate the high sampling rate of the device and its ability to detect significant events related to gas generation dynamics in landfills, such as flare shutdowns or blockages that could lead to hazardous conditions. The validation of the device’s performance against a high-end analytical system provides further evidence of its reliability and accuracy. The developed technology herein offers a cost-effective and scalable solution for environmental landfill gas monitoring and management. We expect that this research will contribute to the advancement of environmental monitoring technologies and facilitate better decision-making processes for sustainable waste management.
