Coliform aerosols generated from the surface of dewatered sewage applied to a forest clearcut.
Concentrations of airborne coliform bacteria as high as 1.5 X 10(4) m-3 were observed 8 cm above anaerobically digested sewage sludge applied to a forest clearcut. Dry conditions and high wind speeds tended to favor aerosol generation.
