Benefits and Risks of Biosolids | MU Extension
Improve soil structure. One of the long-term benefits of biosolids application to land is the improvement of soil structure. When biosolids decompose, they form a substance that glues and binds the soil particles together to form blocks. The end product is a stable soil with good physical properties.

Biosolids and Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
PFAS occurrence in biosolids is reported to be prevalent nationwide (Venkatesan and Halden 2013). Early studies reported that the most abundant PFAAs (see Section 2.2.3.1) found in biosolids (PFOS and PFOA) are similar to those found in WWTP effluent, although biosolids may also contain other PFAS, including long-chain PFAS (Hamid and Li 2016;
