Workgroup A. BioBricks. The Fate and Effetct of Sewage Sludge-Based Bricks on Human Health and Water Resource Quality

TL;DR: In this article, the authors aim to prevent water pollution in the River Basin of the Danube's stretch crossing Croatia, Serbia and Hungary, coming from the use of sewage sludge-based bricks in house construction, which despite representing a solution to the ever increasing problem of waste management and determining a reduction of the clay needed for construction, may pose environmental and health dangers if not properly used.
