The agriculture sector is a source of particulate matter, ammonia and greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, that get emitted into the atmosphere and contribute to poor air quality and climate change. The poultry sector is taking a proactive approach to their environmental stewardship and has made understanding their atmospheric emissions a high research priority. This proposal aims at addressing this research priority by measuring emissions of the course and fine fractions of particulate matter, ammonia, greenhouse gases as well as other gaseous contaminants from various poultry housing operations, manure storage facilities and land application events. A systems approach will be employed by following the life cycle of the manure generated in a barn through to its storage and eventual land application such that an integrated view of the atmosphere emissions can be generated for the whole farm operation. This whole farm approach will allow best management practices to be explored and developed that balance short term gains against longer term benefits for a suite of air contaminants emitted by the farming enterprise.

农业部门是颗粒物、氨和温室气体（例如甲烷和一氧化二氮）的来源，这些气体被排放到大气中，导致空气质量差和气候变化。 家禽业正在采取积极主动的方式进行环境管理，并将了解其大气排放作为研究重点。 该提案旨在通过测量各种家禽饲养作业、粪便储存设施和土地应用活动中颗粒物、氨、温室气体以及其他气态污染物的过程和细小部分的排放来解决这一研究重点。 将采用系统方法，跟踪谷仓产生的粪便的生命周期，直至其储存和最终的土地应用，以便为整个农场运营生成大气排放的综合视图。 这种整个农场的方法将允许探索和开发最佳管理实践，平衡农业企业排放的一系列空气污染物的短期收益与长期收益。
