A calibration of ADMS concerning A.fumigatus emissions from composting is presented. Validation was performed using measurement data collected from a second site. Modelled output iterations were compared to monitored A. fumigatus concentrations. Results provide insight on how best to represent this scenario using ADMS. First steps towards improving exposure assessment for bioaerosols and composting.
