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...
