The objective of this study was to characterize the main input variables for modeling emissions of particulate matter with a mass median diameter ≤10 μm (PM10) from swine facilities using a databased model. The simulation of the PM10 emission rate resulted in a mean percentage error per data set of 21 to 39%, whereas the average simulated and measured emission rate per data set differed by about 4 to 19%.
