Abstract
The Department of Microbiology at the Agricultural University of Norway has since 1971 carried out tests of biological toilets for use both in all-year houses and cabins. Most biological toilets on the Scandinavian market have been laboratory tested in order to determine capacity, care, maintenance, etc. The tests have provided guidance for the users of the toilets and stimulated further development (Guttormsen et al., 1975; Guttormsen et al., 1978; Guttormsen & Pedersen, 1978).
