A passive flux denuder for evaluating emissions of ammonia at a dairy farm.
Passive samplers have been shown to be an inexpensive alternative to direct sampling. Diffusion denuders have been developed to measure the concentration of species such as ammonia (NH3), which is in equilibrium with particulate ammonium nitrate. Conventional denuder sampling has required active sampling that inherently requires air pumps and, therefore, electrical power. To estimate emissions ...
متن کاملRole of Protein Intake in Containment of Ammonia Emissions in Dairy Cattle
In ruminants excess dietary Nitrogen (N) is excreted as urea mainly through urine. Urea, the major form of urinary N is rapidly converted to ammonia after excretion. Ammonia is an important environmental pollutant that impacts the quality of human and animal life .The NRC (2001) considered ammonia emissions from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) as a major air quality concern. Ammon...
متن کاملSummary of performance data for technologies to control gaseous, odor, and particulate emissions from livestock operations: Air management practices assessment tool (AMPAT).
The livestock and poultry production industry, regulatory agencies, and researchers lack a current, science-based guide and data base for evaluation of air quality mitigation technologies. Data collected from science-based review of mitigation technologies using practical, stakeholders-oriented evaluation criteria to identify knowledge gaps/needs and focuses for future research efforts on techn...
متن کاملAnalysis of Sampling Protocols for the EPA Animal Feeding Operations Consent Agreement
In January of 2005, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the notice of the Animal Feeding Operations Consent Agreement and Final Order, offering animal feeding operations (AFOs) the opportunity to participate and help fund a nationwide emissions monitoring study that will be used to develop methodologies for estimating emissions from AFOs. As part of the Consent Agre...
متن کاملAir emissions of ammonia and methane from livestock operations: valuation and policy options.
The animal husbandry industry is a major emitter of ammonia (NH3), which is a precursor of fine particulate matter (PM2.5)--arguably, the number-one environment-related public health threat facing the nation. The industry is also a major emitter of methane (CH4), which is an important greenhouse gas (GHG). We present an integrated process model of the engineering economics of technologies to re...
