TI - Potato and carrot peels as alternative compost pile in composting of the superabsorbent polymer content of spoiled diapers / AV - SHS 2019 0004 PY - 2019/// CY - Fairview, Quezon City PB - Senior High School, FEU-NRMF N1 - Includes appendices and bibliographical references; THSH N2 - ABSTRACT: The researchers aimed to seek if there is a significant difference between the time length taken for the compost pile with potato and carrot peels and the compost pile without potato and carrot peels in decomposiing of spoiled diapers. The researchers used the IPO (Input-Proces-Output) Model as a guide in conducting the study. In the composting process, the presence of maggots and fungi were observed on its first week. Whereas, on its 10th day, the content of the diaper became yellow in color and as stated by (GardenFurnitureHome, 2019; Instructables.com2019), in composting of diapers, one would know that the superabsorbent polymer has been fully decomposed if yellow globs of sodium polyacrylate has formed and that supports the researchers outcome that the superabsorbent polymers has become yellow and been fully decomposed while the sodium polyacrylate remained as well as the diapers' lining. The researcher design used was post-test only experimental design because there are two variables that would suffice the assumed outcome. Independent Sample T-Test was used to determine if the researchers will be rejecting the null hypothesis. Levene's Test was also administered to find if there is an equal variance between the variables. Based on the results, it was concluded that there was a significant difference between the time length taken for the compost pile with and without potato and carrot peels to be decomposed ER -
