  • In order to improve the sanitary condition in rural area in developing countries,an experimental study was conducted on feces treatment using a simple composting toilet with lime addition and manual mixing.The objective was to find the optimal condition for reducing the pathogenic risk to the acceptable level.The Beta-Possion model was used for evaluating the health risk on exposure to the pathogens residual in the composting product.As a result,it is found that the acceptable infection risk of 3.2×10-5 can be achieved under the conditions of lime addition to 1.5% of the total dry weight of the compost,manual mixing for 50 times,and reaction time for 12 h.
