| Abstract/Contents: | "The study was designed to evaluate the impact of municipal leaf composting on soil, water, and the compost quality itself. The environmental monitoring examined soil samples for changes in heavy metal content, sampled water infiltrating beneath the site for common water pollution indicators, and tested the finished compost product for nutrients, heavy metals, and pesticide residues." |
