A study was conducted to investigate physico-chemical properties, fertilizing potential and heavy metal polluting potentials of municipal solid waste composts produced in 29 cities of the country. Results indicated that except a very few samples, all other samples have normal pH and EC. Organic matter as well as major nutrients N and P contents in MSW composts are generally low as compared to the composts prepared from rural wastes. Heavy metal contents in composts from bigger cities (>1 million population) were higher by about 86 % for Zn, 155 % for Cu, 194 % for Cd, 105 % for Pb, 43 % for Ni and 132 % for Cr as compared to those in case of smaller cities ( Not Available |
