Methodology for Measurement of Ammonia Emissions from Intensive Pig Farming

Determination of ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) emissions for intensive livestock facilities (pork, poultry) is important from both a regulatory and a research point of view. Buildings housing livestock are a large source of ammonia emissions from the agriculture sector. However, measurements...
