 υ Tsinghua University (China), ως πρ
 οσκεκλημένη εισηγήτρια της δράσης "F

 υσιάσει βασικά στοιχεία για δυνητικά

 τλος:\n Occurrence and Variations of
  Bacterial Community in Household Mu
 nicipal Solid Waste in Residential A
 reas: implications to health risks\n
   \n Περίληψη:\n Household municipal
  solid waste (HMSW) in many part of 
 the world is characterized by comple
 x and varying composition, high mois
 ture and organic matter, making them
  highly susceptible to decay and con
 ducive to the proliferation of vario
 us microorganisms. Understanding the
  microbial community characteristics
  of HMSW is important to predict the
 ir function in the later-on bioproce
 ssing. On the other hand, it is of g
 reat significance for evaluation and
  controlling biological risks which 
 may poses potential risks to the hum
 an health as there are also pathogen
 s attached in HMSW. There is no doub
 t that solid waste management can pl
 ay as the key role in the secondly c
 hain of transmission during pandemic
 , such as COVID-19 and influenza. In
  our study, microbial communities in
  HMSW and aerosols released from hou
 sehold waste bins were characterized
 , key factors affecting the occurren
 ce and community structures of HMSW 
 origin microorganism were analyzed. 
 In addition, pathogens among the det
 ected microbes were identified and t
 heir potential in health risks were 
 evaluated with semis-quantified meth
 od following US-EPA guidelines. In t
 his presentation, we will take the r
 esult of HMSW source bacteria as exa
 mple.\n The result revealed that bac
 terial community structure in HMSW. 
 More specifically, the richness and 
 diversity of bacterial community in 
 kitchen waste were lower than that i
 n residual waste. The dominant bacte
 rial phylum and genus is Firmicutes 
 (43.4%) and Leuconostoc (21.4%), res
 pectively. The study also revealed t
 hat bacterial community is affected 
 by component of HMSW as well as seas
 ons. Additionally, 42 pathogenic bac
 teria with potential health risks we
 re identified, with 20 of them havin
 g high aerosolization capability (th
 e Aerosolization Index > 1), indi
 cating nonnegligible risk potential 
 to human health through their migrat
 ion from solid waste to the atmosphe
 re. This underscores the need for vi
 gilance in addressing health concern
 s associated with aerosols from fron
 t-end facilities of HMSW. The study 
 provides for the first time fundamen
 tal data of potential health risk sp
 ecies in HMSW and released aerosols,
  providing theoretical guidance for 
 the management of HMSW (related to w
 aste collection and recycling) and t
 he mitigation of public health risks
 .\n  \n Βιογραφικό:\n Dr. Wenjing Lu
 , Associate Professor, Institute for
  Solid Waste Management, School of E
 nvironment, Tsinghua University. She
  was awarded Humboldt fellow (experi
 enced) by the Alexander von Humboldt
  Foundation (2015-2016) and is nomin
 ated as Ambassador Scientist of AvH 
 Foundation (2021-2026). She is also 
 a committee member of Scientific Adv
 isory Panel of IWWG (International W
 aste Working Group), member of China
  Environmental Science Society, memb
 er of Chinese Association of Energy 
 and Environment High-Tech Industry e
 tc..\n Her research interest relate 
 to Insight, Utilization and Risk con
 trol of Environmental Microorganisms
  in the scope of Solid Waste Managem
 ent. Main focus are: C, N cycle duri
 ng anaerobic digestion, composting a
 nd land filling, bio-refinery for CH
 4+X production from biomass waste, a
 nd bio-risks identification & pr
 evention. During her career, she has
  authored or co-authored more than 2
 00 journal papers and conference pap
 ers, 7 monographs/chapters, and hold
 s 19 Chinese patents and software co
 pyrights. Beside scientific studies,
  Dr Lu’s work also has contributions
  to government’s policy and regulati
 ons, which lead to establishment of 
 index system and National Standard f
 or pollution Control in China. Dr. L
 u is also very active in national an
 d international societies. She has b
 uilt contacts/collaborations with to
 p scientists in the field of solid w
 aste management, such as scientists 
 from US, Japan, Austria, Germany, De
 nmark, Canada, Italy, Russia, Brazil
 , etc. These relationships enlarges 
 her global vision on the basis of Ch
 ina in comparative analysis for rese
 arch and practice.\n
