摘要：

The passive and active release of bioaerosols during green waste composting, measured at source is reported for a commercial composting facility in South East (SE) England as part of a research programme focused on improving risk assessments at composting facilities. Aspergillus finnigatus and actinomycetes concentrations of 9.8-36.8 x 10(6) and 18.9-36.0 x 10(6) cfu m(-3), respectively, measured during the active turning of green waste compost, were typically 3-log higher than previously reported concentrations from static compost windrows. Source depletion curves constructed for A. fumigatus during compost turning and modelled using SCREEN3 suggest that bioaerosol concentrations could reduce to back.-round concentrations of 10(3) cfu m(-3) Within 100 m(-3) of this site. Authentic source term data produced from this study will help to refine the risk assessment methodologies that support improved permitting of compost facilities. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
