Summary
This review, appearing in Advances in Agronomy, examines air quality challenges arising from intensive livestock production and explores evidence-based mitigation approaches. As a 2009 publication in this venue, it likely synthesises knowledge on emissions from confined animal feeding operations and assesses practical management and technological interventions to reduce atmospheric pollutant release.
Regional applicability
Findings on livestock air emissions and mitigation are broadly applicable to United Kingdom intensive poultry and pig production, though UK facilities operate under different regulatory frameworks (Environmental Permitting Regulations, Ammonia Regulations 2012) and may employ different housing and treatment technologies than those prevalent in the United States at the time of publication.
Key measures
Air pollutant concentrations (ammonia, particulates, volatile organic compounds); emission rates from livestock facilities
Outcomes reported
The study likely reviews air quality issues associated with livestock farming, including emissions of particulates, ammonia, and other pollutants, and discusses mitigation strategies.
