Interest in solid waste disposal has been growing since the early
1960s, when researchers emphasized the potential for solid waste to
harbor pathogenic microorganisms. Since then, society has become
more interested in the environmental impacts of solid waste
treatment and disposal, and how biological processes are used to
minimize these impacts. This new text provides a basic
understanding of the unique microbial ecosystems associated with
the decomposition of municipal solid waste (MSW). It addresses the
challenges of sampling and assaying microbial activities in MSW and
describes preferred methods. The decomposition of MSW under
anaerobic conditions in landfills and digestors is described, as
well as under aerobioconditions during composting. The Microbiology
of Solid Wastes discusses the need to consider MSW as an integrated
system of collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal. A better
understanding of solid waste microbiology will contribute to safe
and economical solid waste management. Microbiologists,
environmental engineers, and solid waste managers will all find
this a useful reference.
