Summary
Poultry farms face issues with emissions and neighbor complaints. Vegetative environmental buffers are one way to manage these problems. Students learn about the use of these buffers and the methods for measuring emissions.
Poultry farm emissions
Poultry farms produce emissions of ammonia, dust, odor, and noise. These emissions cause neighbor complaints and environmental concerns. Emissions are worse in summer and in urbanized areas. Future regulations may limit these emissions.
Vegetative environmental buffers
Vegetative environmental buffers are plantings of trees and shrubs around poultry houses. They help manage emissions and neighbor relations. The poultry industry is promoting and researching these buffers.
Sampling gaseous emissions
A method for sampling gaseous emissions uses helium balloons and filter packs. The method was tested in the lab and in the field. It measures trace gases and particulates at different heights and locations.
Measuring particulate matter
Field measurements of particulate matter and ammonia were taken at a swine facility. The measurements used a Gaussian dispersion model. Preliminary analysis suggests challenges in quantifying particulate emissions.
