Spatial variations in airborne microorganism and endotoxin concentrations at green waste composting facilities (2011)
Journal Article

The emission and dispersal of bioaerosols from open-air commercial composting facilities continues to be contentious. A meta-dataset enumerating cultivable microorganism emission and downwind concentrations is not yet available. A dataset derived fro...

Improving road transport-related air quality in England through joint working between Environmental Health Officers and Transport Planners (2011)
Journal Article

In this paper the necessity for effective joint working arrangements between Environmental Health Officers and Transport Planners is demonstrated as a fundamental prerequisite for successful management of traffic-related air quality in English local...

A longitudinal study of the links between local air quality management and local transport planning policy processes in England (2010)
Journal Article

The second round of the Local Transport Plan (LTP2) process in England presents unique challenges and opportunities for integrating Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) within current transport planning policy. Using content analysis of LTP2 documents... Read More about A longitudinal study of the links between local air quality management and local transport planning policy processes in England.

Particle size distribution of airborne Aspergillus fumigatus spores emitted from compost using membrane filtration (2009)
Journal Article

Information on the particle size distribution of bioaerosols emitted from open air composting operations is valuable in evaluating potential health impacts and is a requirement for improved dispersion simulation modelling. The membrane filter method... Read More about Particle size distribution of airborne Aspergillus fumigatus spores emitted from compost using membrane filtration.

Microbial and endotoxin emission from composting facilities: Characterisation of release and dispersal patterns (2009)
Journal Article

The potential risk to human health posed by exposure to bioaerosols released from composting is an important issue. Further growth in the number of composting facilities in the UK is anticipated as biodegradable waste is diverted from landfill. To da...
