Health Hazard Evaluation Report: HETA 95-0203-2764, Central Maui Composting Facility, Maui, HI.

摘要

On March 28, 1995, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a management request for a health hazard evaluation from the Maui County Council, Maui, Hawaii. The Council asked NIOSH to evaluate their composting operation since they recently began receiving complaints of poor working conditions from former employees, as well as complaints from neighboring business (Kahului Airport) about odors emitting from the composting site. There was no indication that any current employees have or had any health problems associated with the compost operation. This request was also prompted by the NIOSH Alert pertaining to Organic Dust Toxic Syndrome (ODTS).
