Emissions of Greenhouse and Enviromental Relevant Gases by the Decomposition of Organic Waste from Households

Composting is an aerob process. Aerob microorganismens need at least an oxygen-concentration of 3 Vol.–% to take part on the degradation of organic matter. If the oxygen-concentration is getting too low, anaerobic organismens become dominant. They produce oder and greenhouse gases. To avoid this effect all instruments must be used to increae the O₂–concentration in the plant.
