A software application for mapping livestock waste odour dispersion

A software application for mapping livestock waste odour dispersion

10 In developed Countries, coexistence of livestock production and urban settlements is a source of 11 problematic interactions that are regulated by specific legislation, often requiring the evaluation of 12 the potential environmental impact of livestock odour emissions. For this purpose, dispersion 13 models are powerful tools that can be classified as dynamic (Eulerian and Lagrangian) or st...

Evaluation of Air Dispersion Models for Livestock Odour Application

Instantaneous downwind malodours from two swine farrowing facilities were assessed in the field by 15 trained human sniffers. A total of 34 1-hour field monitoring sessions were carried out on the two farms between June and October in 2003 and 2004. Odour emissions from the farm were measured and weather conditions were monitored simultaneously. Four air dispersion models, ISCST3, AUSPLUME, IN-...

Livestock Odour Dispersion Modeling: A Review

Abstract This paper reviewed the studies of livestock odour dispersion modeling including odor sources, odor emission rate, odor characteristics and measurements, odor dispersion modeling methods, and methods and results of adapting industrial air dispersion models for livestock odor dispersion simulations. The Gaussian plume models, Puff models, Fluctuating models and other models that have be...

Separation distance to avoid odour nuisance due to livestock calculated by the Austrian odour dispersion model (AODM)

Odour emission of livestock buildings is major burden for ambient residential areas. Using a dispersion model to calculate ambient odour concentrations, the separation distance between livestock buildings and residential areas was defined by a pre-selected odour threshold and an exceeding probability. The dynamic Austrian odour dispersion model (AODM) was used to calculate the separation distan...
