Bioaerosal generation at large-scale green waste composting plants
Article Abstract:
Bioaerosols generated at composting plants are mainly airborne microorganisms and microbial constituents, which are released from the processes where the vigorous movement of material is involved, mainly during fresh waste delivery, shredding, compost pile turning and compost screening. Factors influencing bioaerosal generation and dispersion, establishing a safety boundary around composting plants and to reduce environmental impact are highlighted.

Compost production from olive oil processing
Article Abstract:
The main use of olive fruits is the extraction of olive oil, which was made by pressing the olives with big conical stones, but in the last decades since 2005 the traditional method is replaced by centrifugation systems. The three-phase system generates oil, wastewater and husk, while the two-phase system produces olive oil and a semisolid by-product called two-phase olive mill waste (TPOMW).
