Modeling emissions from CAFO poultry farms in Poland and evaluating potential risk to surrounding populations

Abstract: The world-wide use of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) for livestock production demands the need to evaluate the potential impact to public health. We estimated the exposure of various airborne pollutants for populations residing in close proximity to 10 poultry CAFOs located in Central Poland. Ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methane (CH4), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and organic dust were the pollutants of … Show more

“…Most previous research has focused on urban air pollution, but rural areas should be considered in studies of air quality and its effects. In the current study, the focus was on coal mining and burning as a potential source of rural air pollution, but other contributing factors may be present as well in specific rural environments such as agriculture, 45 animal husbandry, 46 or mining for other products besides coal. 47 There are many arguments to be made for transitioning from coal to alternative methods of metal production 48 and energy generation.…”

“…These symptoms are not, however, an effect of the toxicity of a particular chemical compound (Michalak et al 2014). Another effect of exposure to odorous compounds may also be an increased risk of aggravated cardiovascular ailments for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic heart disease (EPA 2000, Pohl et al 2017.…”

“…Pohl et al (Pohl et al 2017) conducted a study to estimate local community exposure and assess the potential health hazard to the population living near 10 large poultry farms (concentrated animal feeding operation: CAFOs) located in Poland. The AERMOD model and hazard index (HI) estimation were used for the purpose of risk assessment.…”

“…AERMOD model was used to predict the pollutants' concentrations in order to compute the Hazard Index (HI) for a mixture of chemicals. Results presented that the estimated hazard indexes which were less than unity; therefore there was low potential for adverse health consequences for the surrounding society for the combined mixture of chemicals (Pohl et al, 2016).…”
