Air quality has a direct influence on health, welfare and production performance of livestock. Long term exposure to particulates in livestock buildings might also affect the respiratory health of farm workers. Air pollutants emitted from livestock buildings can reduce air, water and soil quality and can potentially undermine the health of nearby residents. In this book we reviewed key aspects of agricultural air quality, such as monitoring, managing and reducing airborne pollutants in and around livestock facilities. We hope that this book will be useful for farming professionals, academics, students, policy makers, business leaders, regulatory bodies and agricultural consultants.
