Study on Enhanced Methods for Calculating NH<sub>3</sub> Emissions from Fertilizer Application in Agriculture Sector

Ammonia is a representative PM-2.5 secondary product, and the need for management is emerging as health and living damage caused by fine particulate matter worsens. The main source of ammonia is the agricultural sector, and in Korea, 79% of the total ammonia emissions are emitted from the agricultur...
