Agriculture and Food Research Initiative - Air Quality

Agriculture, forest, and range production practices have increasingly become subject to state and federal regulations aimed at protecting air resources. In many instances, data do not exist or are not representative of agricultural industries for the purpose of estimating emissions to the atmosphere of regulated pollutants and greenhouse gases, other than carbon dioxide, from agriculture, as well as public nuisances, such as odors and fugitive dust. In addition, there is a need to develop practices and technologies to assist producers in preventing or mitigating air emissions.
