Abstract
The overall project goal is to prevent water pollution in the River Basin of the Danube’s stretch crossing
Croatia, Serbia and Hungary, coming from the use of sewage sludge-based bricks in house construction,
which despite representing a solution to the ever increasing problem of waste management and determining
a reduction of the clay needed for construction, may pose environmental and health dangers if not
properly used, due to leaching of toxic substances and heavy metals into the waters. The project aims at
creating a comprehensive database on SSBB environmental and health effects; developing a guideline for
SSBB manufacturers on standardised SSBB production, and increasing the awareness and knowledge of
manufacturers and consumers on possible negative effects and the proper handling/use of SSBBs.
