Effectiveness of Windrow Composting Methodology in Killing a Thermo-Tolerant Species of Salmonella During Mortality Composting
… their thin budget. Therefore, we propose that composting mortalities could be an economical alternative. Composting is a recognized method for taking animal waste products along with carbon waste and turning it into a pathogen-free, nutrient-rich topsoil. Carcass composting is in fact performed …

Emissions of Bioaerosols from Composting Facilities
Composting is a waste management procedure leading to the degradation of organic substances into stable end-products that can be used as fertilizer. However, one of the major public health concerns is the emissions of bioaerosols from the composting sites. Bioaerosol dispersion across composting …
