Abstract
Composting has typically been used to treat agricultural wastes, yard wastes and sewage sludges which most often contain negligible concentrations of hazardous organic substances. Other wastes including household refuse, industrial wastes and hazardous wastes often contain greater concentrations of hazardous organic substances which could pose a threat to human health or the environment during treatment or after disposal. Some of the organic hazardous substances found in the waste may be amenable to treatment by composting. A series of research projects have been conducted on the fate of volatile organic chemicals found in municipal and hazardous wastes, and the fate of polynuclear aromatics and explosives during composting.
