title: Perceptions of sewage sludge.
abstract: In Europe the agricultural reuse of sewage sludge is controlled by Directive but the combined forces of statutory regulation and "market" regulation have made the task of exploiting the scientifically recognised agricultural reuse benefits of sewage sludge arduous to achieve. The paper examines the factors that have influenced the perception of sewage sludge by the public in the UK and how public perception can be exploited in order to achieve regulatory change.
