| Summary: | a reduction in the dust emissions from the surface of the area. Similarly, comparison of concentrations upwind and attention on the environmental impacts of agricultural Because of this increased attention, the need for a new by collecting particulate samples around feedyard pens downwind of the two different treatments showed no consistent evaluation of a possible dust control method was undertaken Five sampling trips were completed for a total of 492 TSP Increased emphasis on environmental quality has focused method of dust emission control is being realized. The operations. For years, beef cattle feedyards have been under pattern to indicate that surfacing pens with ash will create pens. pressure to manage and reduce fugitive dust emissions. samples and 288 PM10 samples. Results indicate that statistically significant differences in particulate levels surfaced with different treatments. One set of pens was surfaced with fly ash from a coal-fired power plant, while the other set, surfaced with caliche, served as a control. were not consistently obtained on either side of the study |
