The reuse of municipal sewage for agricultural purposes is becoming more prevalent. The literature concerning the impact of this practice is reviewed. It is readily apparent that agricultural reuse of municipal sewage is preferable to other common methods of disposal both from the point of view of ecological influence and economical waste utilization. There is a need to establish guidelines for the agricultural use of municipal sewage which will serve the variable conditions found in Canada and meet the public health concerns associated with an extensive agricultural use.
城市污水用于农业目的的再利用正变得越来越普遍。本文回顾了有关这种做法影响的文献。显而易见，从生态影响和经济废物利用的角度来看，城市污水的农业再利用比其他常见的处理方法更可取。有必要制定城市污水农业利用的指导方针，以适应加拿大各地的不同情况，并解决与广泛农业利用相关的公共卫生问题。
