Composting technology in waste stabilization: On the methods, challenges and future prospects.
Chukwudi O. Onwosi,Victor C. Igbokwe,Joyce N. Odimba,Ifeanyichukwu E. Eke,Mary O. Nwankwoala,Ikemdinachi N. Iroh,Lewis I. Ezeogu +6 more
TL;DR: In this review, different types of composting methods reportedly applied in waste management were explored and the major factors such as temperature, pH, C/N ratio, moisture, particle size, and relevant strategies to improve and optimize process effectiveness were addressed.

Richard L. Whitman,Valerie J. Harwood,Thomas A. Edge,Meredith B. Nevers,Muruleedhara N. Byappanahalli,Kannappan Vijayavel,João Brandão,Michael J. Sadowsky,Elizabeth Wheeler Alm,Allan Crowe,Donna M. Ferguson,Zhongfu Ge,Elizabeth Halliday,Julie L. Kinzelman,Greg Kleinheinz,Kasia Przybyla-Kelly,Christopher Staley,Zachery R. Staley,Helena M. Solo-Gabriele +18 more
TL;DR: Understanding of the community structure, ecology, fate, transport, and public health implications of microbes in beach sand is summarized and recommendations for future work are made in this vastly under-studied area.

Assessment of bioaerosol contamination (bacteria and fungi) in the largest urban wastewater treatment plant in the Middle East
Sadegh Niazi,Mohammad Sadegh Hassanvand,Amir Hossein Mahvi,Ramin Nabizadeh,Mahmood Alimohammadi,Samira Nabavi,Sasan Faridi,Asghar Dehghani,Mohammad Hoseini,Mohammad Moradi-Joo,Adel Mokamel,Homa Kashani,Navid Yarali,Masud Yunesian +13 more
TL;DR: Overall, significant relationship was observed between meteorological parameters and the concentration of bacterial and fungal aerosols and primary treatment had the highest impact on fungal emission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emission of bacteria and fungi in the air from wastewater treatment plants - a review.
TL;DR: The degree of human exposure to airborne bacteria, fungi, endotoxins, odours and dust particles in the air, and other allergens may vary significantly depending upon the type and the capacity of a plant, kind of the facilities, performed activities and meteorological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne enteric coliphages and bacteria in sewage treatment plants.
TL;DR: The BioSampler recovered higher numbers of airborne coliphage viruses than has been measured with other liquid samplers in previous studies, suggesting that this sampler has improved efficiency for sampling airbornecoliphages.
