Investigating a Relationship between Ammonia and Particulate Matter in Poultry Houses II: Secondary Inorganic Aerosol FormationPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: 2009 Reno, Nevada, June 21 - June 24, 2009 096616.Authors: Taylor S Roumeliotis, Brad J Dixon, Bill J Van Heyst, , Keywords: Poultry, Layer, Broiler, Particulate Matter, Secondary Inorganic Aerosols, Ammonia, Ammonium, Chloride, Sulfate, Nitrate. Poultry production results in the emission of fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Ammonia, a gas generated during poultry production, has the potential to interact with acid gases to form fine PM or secondary inorganic aerosols (SIA). This study investigated the formation of various SIA species inside a small-scale layer house and commercial-scale broiler house by measuring ammonia, acid gases, PM2.5, and SIA species inside and outside the two facilities. |
