Abstract

In the present study, airborne concentrations of total bacteria, molds+yeasts as well as fecal coliforms and streptococci were measured at a composting plant as a function of key variables, including feedstock composition, operational procedures and season. The facility where the measurements were performed is a large (60 000 tonnes day-1), turned and aerated static pile composting installation for source-separated vegetable, fruit and garden waste (VFG) collected from households in a region of the northern part of Belgium.
