Agricultural Air Quality (Ji-Qin Ni)

The Agricultural Air Quality Program provides science-based knowledge, tools, and direct support to help stakeholders improve environmental performance while maintaining productivity. It offers education and training on air pollutant sources (e.g., particulate matter, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and greenhouse gases), monitoring methods, and mitigation practices for livestock and waste management systems. The program translates research into practical guidelines, decision-support tools, and best management practices tailored to producers, industry professionals, and regulators. It helps reduce emissions, protect workers’ and public health, improve animal welfare, and enhance the long-term sustainability of agricultural systems.
