A proposed ASTM International standard will establish the first test method for determining humus generation during biodegradation. ASTM International’s plastics committee ( D20 ) is developing the proposed standard. Humus is the portion of soil, dark in color and complex in chemical nature, that is made up of partially degraded biomass. As biodegradation of natural materials occurs, the humus…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #11269 ###
