文摘
- •
Uncertainty in organic pollutant degradation rates during full-scale composting was quantified.
- •
Uncertainty estimates were quantified for two different compost sampling methods and treatments.
- •
Particle size reduction and material homogenization were crucial for reducing uncertainty.
- •
An average uncertainty (coefficient of variation) as low as 15% could be achieved.
