Ammonia Mitigation Technology for Sustainable Environmental Stewardship

摘要

Excessive ammonia (NH_3) an important environment dispersion, and depositor air pollution, soil and water contamination, and pungent odors. Agricultural activities, especially animal feeding operations (AFOs), are a major source of NH_3 emissions. At an AFO, manure and wastewater contribute to ammonia emissions from the animal housing and from the manure storage and treatment facilities. Additionally, loss of NH_3 to the environment results in the loss of an important nitrogen fertilizer source. Hence, prevention of excessive NH_3 emission from animal manure and wastewater is economical as well as beneficial to the environment.
