Library
Online library
The online library contains references to the contents of the Northwest Biosolids Management Association's Biosolids Resource Center. The NBMA attempts to maintain a copy of the items referenced for educational use by NBMA members. The Association welcomes requests for referenced information by members of the NBMA and supporting associations (as many as five items per month). Once your list is compiled, requests can be forwarded to the University of Washington, slb@u.washington.edu. The NBMA encourages non-members to seek referenced items at a local library or university. More recent listings can be viewed in our monthly Biosolids eBulletins below.
