Part 1: Potential point-source gaseous emissions from dairies

Abstract

Various point sources of gaseous emissions may be associated with modern dairy production. Though most of the generated emissions are benign; the emissions from these point sources may contain odorous, hazardous and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These potential emissions have various impacts on air quality, the environment and the farm. Some of the more common emissions, their potential sources on the farm, health and environmental impacts are discussed.
