- "Alan B. Rubin, the Environmental Protection Agency's top scientist on sewage sludge until he retired last year [in 2005], vigorously defends spreading it on fields -- a practice that he said has proved safe over decades.
- ""Without a doubt, this is the most evaluated material at the EPA," said Rubin, now a consultant for Responsible Biosolids Management, the Santa Barbara firm that operates Green Acres for Los Angeles.
- "Advanced treatment eliminates many toxins, and traces of others remain locked in the topsoil, thanks to "the incredible binding capacity of biosolids," Rubin said."[1]
