Interpretive Summary: Technical Abstract: Gaseous emissions from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) can impair air, soil, and water quality. Estimates of the magnitude of emissions from CAFO are needed to quantify he impact of livestock production on the environment and human health and to develop management practices to mitigate CAFO emissions. This work was presented to a WTAMU class (ENVR 3092/6092, Fundamentals of Air Quality) to provide an overview of approaches available (emission factors, empirical models, and process-based models) to predict CAFO emissions. Special emphasis was placed on process-based modeling and real-timesimulations were performed with the DairyGEM model to illustrate the utility of process-based models for evaluating how changes in management and climate could impact CAFO emissions. |
