Manta harmful particles from the East Coast
Reducing barnyard emissions is one way to reduce the harmful effects of small particles of atmospheric air, severe asthma in children and can cause lung cancer and heart attacks in some adults. Carnegie Mellon University researcher Peter J. Adams argues that improved control of ammonia emissions from farms is more economical and efficient way to deal with the effects of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide pollution from some industrial plants to control. In most companies, is released from manure management is an important source of ammonia in the air and water, said Adams, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon.Our research indicates that reducing increased control of the power supply, efficient use of nitrogen on farms with low emissions
of fertilizer and other improvements to manure handling on farms inexpensive ways to reduce atmospheric emissions of ammonia and air.Adams investigation in the winter of 2007 technology environmental science, shows that ammonia is a major contributor to the dangerous concentration of particles in the atmosphere over the eastern United States - concentrations that the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) considers hazardous to human health. The Carnegie Mellon research also indicates that the potential saving control of ammonia emissions from manure from farms is $ 8,000 per ton in the winter, and least expensive strategy to reduce levels of airborne particles compared to pollution control and hazardous industrial sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides.In New York, each of
the 500 MW gas combustion turbine produces up to 61 tons of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and other harmful airborne particles, with the costs of rehabilitation and in the millions, researchers .In essence, you smell ammonia in concentrations over five parts per million (ppm). It starts to burn the eyes at 20 ppm. While you can feel the high concentrations of ammonia on or near a farm, the most serious threat
