What pathogen and heavy-metal limits must FOM meet?
sourced
Under the FCO, FOM must show nil pathogens, pH between 6.5 and 8.4, conductivity no more than 4 dS/m, and heavy-metal caps including cadmium at 5, lead at 100, chromium at 300, nickel at 50 and mercury at 0.15 mg/kg. Feedstocks carrying pathogen or metal loads - some manures, sewage sludge - therefore need care at the input end.
