This bibliography was produced by two individuals from Great Britain’s Water Research Center (WRC) in Stevenage using the computerized literature files of the WRC from 1974 through 1983 and a manual search of Water Pollution Abstracts from 1950 to 1973. As the title indicates, the bibliography is annotated and formatted into three sections including stabilization, disinfection, and odor control of sewage sludge. In each section, references are arranged alphabetically by author, and each author’s publications are arranged by date. The section on sewage sludge stabilization is subdivided into each of the major sludge stabilization methods used today including aerobic and anaerobic digestion, lime stablization, and composting. This section covers these topics well and represents 226 pages of the text. The section on odor control is only six pages in length and represents a very minor portion of the bibliography. Admittedly, literaradiation) processes. A good cross section of papers dealing with disinfection of sewage sludge is presented. The section on odor control is only six pages in length and represented a very minor portion of the bibliography. Admittedly, literature sources dealing with odor control are not abundant; but, surely more articles could have been included. The text is well presented with clear headings and type style. The abstracts themselves give excellent indications of the contents of the articles listed. The bibliography contains an author index and a complete index to the subject matter. This bibliography should be a welcome addition to the library of those interested in the stabilization and disinfection of sewage sludge. --DAVID R.
