Biosolids as fertilizer

Greetings all from the wet and cool far north. Our large municipality is
spreading biosolids from the regional sewage plant on farmland. There is a
group that has been established to oppose the spreading of these biosolids.
 Although I am opposed based on my limited knowledge of the potential
impacts, I am uncomfortable with the NIMBY mindset. I am a believer that
if you do not bring solutions to the table then you are part of the
problem.

I am therefore asking for references to studies done on the use of
biosolids as fertilizer and more importantly, how biosolids or sewage can
be treated or processed to have little to no adverse affect on the
environment.

Best regards,
