Abstract in Danish
Denne rapport præsenterer resultaterne af en undersøgelse, som er iværksat for at kunne forberede en fuldskala-undersøgelse til at evaluere inaktivering af patogener ved kompostering af bionedbrydeligt affald ved hjælp af en direkte procesevaluering. Med baggrund i rapporten anbefales det at inkludere den direkte procesevaluering i den Nordiske fuldskala-undersøgelse til evaluering af de sanitære aspekter ved kompostering af bionedbrydeligt affald.
