Abstract

Background

• Question: How much does a US open lot dairy contribute to local and regional PM loadings?
• • Primary PM: dust, combustion sources
  • Secondary PM: NH₃, NO_x, SO_x, VOCs
  • Climate, housing, manure management, and other confounding factors
• Emissions measurements are required to help answer this question
• Study Objective:
  • Characterize PM_2.5, PM₁₀, TSP, and gaseous NH₃concentrations, fluxes, and emissions from a commercial dairy using both point and remote sensing techniques
  • Results reported in:
    • Marchant et al. 2011. Estimation of dairy particulate matter emissions from a California dairy …Trans. ASABE54(4):1453-1463.
    • Moore et al. 2014. Ammonia measurements and emissions from a California dairy ... Trans. ASASBE 57(1):181-198.
