The Composting Handbook provides a single guide to the science, principles and best practices of composting for large-scale composting operations facing a variety of opportunities and challenges converting raw organic materials into a useful and marketable product. Composting is a well-established and increasingly important method to recycle and add value to organic by-products. Many, if not most, of the materials composting treats are discarded materials that would otherwise place a burden on communities, industries, farms and the environment. Composting converts these materials into a valuable material, compost, that regenerates soils improving soils for plant growth and environmental conservation. The Composting Handbook expands on previously available resources by incorporating new information, new subjects and new practices, drawing its content from current scientific principles, research, engineering and industry experience. In both depth and breadth, it covers the knowledge that a compost producer needs to succeed. Topics include the composting process, methods of composting, equipment, site requirements, environmental issues and impacts, business knowledge, safety, and the qualities, uses and markets for the compost products. The Composting Handbook is an invaluable reference for composting facility managers and operators, prospective managers and operators, regulators, policy makers, environmental advocates, educators, waste generators and managers and generally people interested in composting as a business or a solution. It is also appropriate as a textbook for college courses and a supplemental text for training courses about composting or organic waste management. - Created in conjunction with the Compost Research and Education Foundation (CREF) - Includes the latest information on composting and compost, providing the first comprehensive resource in decades - Written with focus on both academic and industrial insights and advances
Recently the development of odour measurement, regulation and control techniques has made great progress, with new and updated standards and regulations for odour control and measurement in Europe and Australasia; in the United States, odour was listed as one of the key areas for action by the Agricultural Air Quality Task Force. In these circumstances, it is clear that a uniform systematic approach to quantifying and solving odour problems worldwide is highly desirable. This motivated the 1st IWA International Conference on Odours and VOCs, with its focus on ?measurement, regulation and control techniques?. The conference emphasised the need to standardise the approaches to odour measurement, to quantify odour impact from various emission sources for regulatory purposes, and to devise ways of alleviating odour impact on local communities. These subjects are of concern nationally and internationally because of the decreasing tolerance to such impacts by local communities and the current lack of effective solutions. From the papers presented 42 have been selected for these proceedings, dealing with olfactometry; field observation and sampling; odour regulations; physical treatment; odour dispersion modelling; volatilisation models; animal farming odours; manure treatment; biofilters; odour control for anaerobic ponds; and H2S removal. They represent the latest work of leading experts from European, Asian, North American, Australian and New Zealand universities, agencies and organisations and will prove a major resource for all interested in the research and practice of odour measurement and control.
Excreta and wastewater sludge are resources. Finding ways to put them to their best uses is part of developing sustainable human communities. But if not managed properly, excreta and sludge can be dangerous to human health and the environment. How to integrate theses opposing concepts is an ongoing worldwide challenge. This Atlas provides examples of how this challenge is addressed around the globe. The 59 reports provide insights into the similarities and differences in the management of excreta, wastewater, and biosolids in 37 countries. This compilation of information includes specific information from 19% of the member states of the United Nations, and includes representation of diverse countries and the full spectrum of management programs.
