Ammonia Concentrations within and Emission Rates from Australian Piggery Buildings

摘要：

　　Both animal and human health can be compromised by high ammoma concentrations within piggery buildings that can result in high emission rates from livestock buildings as well.Concentrations and emissions of aerial ammonia within and from 160 piggery buildings were surveyed in four states of Australia.Multi-Gas monitoring system was used in the buildings to determine ammonia concen-trations.A refereed methodology was used to predict the emission rates from all buildings studied.An overall mean ammonia emission rate of 1442.5 mg/h/500 kg live weight and a mean internal building concentration of 3.7 ppm were measured in the piggery buildings.The lowest ammonia concentrations were measured in straw based shelters(1.1 ppm),while measurements taken in grower buildings had the highest concentrations (5.5 ppm).
