Evaluation of inflammatory effects of airborne endotoxin emitted from composting sources (2011)
Journal Article
Tyrrel, S. F., Deacon, L. J., Pankhurst, L. J., Liu, J., Abate, W., Hayes, E. T., …Jackson, S. K. (2011). Evaluation of inflammatory effects of airborne endotoxin emitted from composting sources. Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 30(3), 602-606. https://doi.org/10.1002/etc.434

Because of the lack of effective methodology, the biological effects of environmental endotoxin have not been assessed. Here we have collected and measured airborne endotoxin at different locations around composting sites. Increased endotoxin concent...
