Study identifies factors influencing bioaerosol generation and dispersion — useful data for establishing a safety boundary around composting plants and making modifications to operational procedures to reduce environmental impact. NORMAL operations taking place at composting plants can be the source of potential environmental impacts related to odors, bioaerosols, noise and dust. The release of microorganisms in the form of bioaerosols has been a focus of study for many years as far as the po-tential health impacts are concerned. This is not only for the workers at the plant but also for local residents as a result of the inhalation of these bioaerosols.
