Process efficiency and outcome effectiveness in the United Kingdom's local air quality management regime. International Journal of Sustainable Development and Planning, 6(3), 286-298. https://doi.org/10.2495/SDP-V6-N3-286-298

The UK's Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) commences with a Review and Assessment which may lead to the declaration of an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) where an exceedence of the Air Quality Objectives is confirmed. A declaration initiates the... Read More about Process efficiency and outcome effectiveness in the United Kingdom's local air quality management regime.

Spatial variations in airborne microorganism and endotoxin concentrations at green waste composting facilities (2011)
Journal Article
Pollard, S. J., Pankhurst, L. J., Deacon, L. J., Liu, J., Drew, G. H., Hayes, E. T., …Tyrrel, S. F. (2011). Spatial variations in airborne microorganism and endotoxin concentrations at green waste composting facilities. International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health, 214(5), 376-383. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheh.2011.06.001

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...

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...
