Behavior of GHGs and Odorous Pollutants in Rural and Urban Environment

This book presents the researches on greenhouse gases (GHG) emission from manure treatment and temporal variation of ammonia in an urban environment. The application of solid manure can release large quantities of GHG. Its implication has scarcely been evaluated with respect to solid beef cattle manure. The behavior of CH4 and CO2 was examined in relation to manure treatment conditions. This study will help establish a management scheme for the GHGs from manure treatment. The on-line analysis of ammonia is conducted at two urban monitoring sites. Sources affecting its temporal variation are evaluated in a number of respects. Ammonia levels in the urban air exhibit unique temporal trends over seasonal cycle. The results indicate a potential linkage between ammonia levels and traffic activities.
