Abstract
An observable on a quantum structure is any -homomorphism of quantum structures from the Borel -algebra of the real line into the quantum structure which is in our case a monotone -complete effect algebras with the Riesz Decomposition Property. We show that every observable is a smearing of a sharp observable which takes values from a Boolean -subalgebra of the effect algebra, and we prove that for every element of the effect algebra there is its spectral measure.
