Identifying Factors Contributing to Ammonia Emissions
Posted in: Air Filtration, Pork Insight Articles by admin on July 10, 2017
Ammonia is a harmful gas for workers, pigs and the environment and contributes to odour in and around the barn. Many factors influence the emission process and with a better understanding of the formation and transmission of ammonia, we will be better suited to understand why and how ammonia emissions can be reduced.
This paper will provide background information about the effect of ammonia on workers, pigs and the environment; explain the basic ammonia formation and transmission processes; and identify various factors that affect ammonia emission from a swine barn. Based on this information, methods to reduce ammonia emissions can be discussed with a better understanding of why and how they affect air quality.
