[USCC] Response to Edo McGowan on The Non-Issue of Prions in Biosolids

[The Rubins]

I have attached two papers on prions in biosolids that I authored on behalf of the Water Environment Federation.  As you will see, these papers put the potential presence of prions in biosolids in perspective.  I believe that most readers of these papers would conclude that there is no significant risk from the potential or actual presence of prions in land applied biosolids or for that matter composted biosolids.  Again, Edo is playing the "what if" game that will not succeed.

Cheers

Alan
