TLDR
It has been concluded from the results that addition of PPVW up to 40% with CD can produce a good quality vermicompost and growth and fecundity of E. fetida was best when reared in 20% PPVW+80% CD feed mixture.About:

Nutrient recovery from urban forest leaf litter waste solids using Eisenia fetida
Surindra Suthar,Shailja Gairola +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the vermicomposted waste mixture showed high microbial populations: bacterial (423.33-684.0 CFU×−105 g−1), fungal (22.0-36.67 CFU ×−105g−1) and actinomycetes (107.67-141.5 CFUx−1).

Transformation of nutrients and heavy metals during vermicomposting of the invasive green weed Salvinia natans using Eisenia fetida
TL;DR: Eisenia fetida was very effective for reduction of bioavailable and leachable forms of selected heavy metals, and the TCLP test confirmed that the vermicompost was not hazardous for soil applications.

Reduction of bioavailability and leachability of heavy metals during vermicomposting of water hyacinth
Jiwan Singh,Ajay S. Kalamdhad +1 more
TL;DR: Leachability test confirmed that prepared vermicompost is not hazardous for soil, plants, and human health, and revealed that the toxicity of metals depends on bioavailable fraction rather than total metal concentration.

Integrating composting and vermicomposting in the treatment and bioconversion of biosolids.
TL;DR: A system that combines the two processes resulted in a product that was more stable and consistent, had less potential impact on the environment and for compost-vermicomposting (CV) system, the product met the pathogen reduction requirements.
