  Really? What about factors involving the type of organic matter
along with temperature etc? According to the scientists who did the
study, you are wrong and there are health risks from storing organic
matter inside of a home for composting.
  I was curious to see reactions from environmentalists about the health
risks involving things that they like, such as composting. And of 
course, these are the same people who will play chicken little and
scream loudly about things they don't like. 
  Don't you think we need some government regulations and standards
involving composting to protect  the public? Maybe warnings on all
composting materaial and bins and literature etc.?
