Ian L. Pepper is a professor and director of the National Science Foundation Water and Environmental Technology Center at the University of Arizona in Tucson, a Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC). One of his three "major research interests," according to his UofA profile, is the "land application of biosolids" -- meaning the spreading of sewage sludge on soil.[1] He is a proponent of the use of sewage sludge on food-growing soil. He told NPR in 2013 that the risks of doing so "are much lower than those suggested by environmental activists."[2]
