Establishing A Dispersion-based Setback Model for Determination of Odor Impact from Livestock FacilitiesPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: 2012 Dallas, Texas, July 29 - August 1, 2012 121338469.(doi:10.13031/2013.42194)Authors: Zhu Gao ASABE Member, Ph.D. Student, Amy La ASABE Member, Research Assistant, Qiang Zhang ASABE Member, Professor, Huiqing Guo ASABE Member, Professor Keywords: Odor exposure, odor acceptability, dispersion model, survey Odors from intensive livestock operations have been a concern to the public. Currently, the setback distance requirement is commonly adopted in North America to mitigate odor impact. The goal of this project was to develop a dispersion-based model to determine the setback distances for swine operations. The determination of setback distances was based on the relationship between odor acceptability and odor exposure. The odor acceptability was determined through a survey of local residents. The odor exposure was quantified through dispersion modeling. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
