What guidance does EPA provide related to disposal of carcasses infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza?
Several disposal options are technologically available; however, in agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), EPA recommends four preferred carcass disposal methods: composting, on-site burial, landfill disposal, and rendering. Other options might include combustion (such as incinerators) and alkaline hydrolysis (i.e., treatment technology using heat and chemicals).
