Greater efforts to reduce ammonia emissions needed to meet air pollution targets
Levels of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere are linked to ammonia emissions. However, reducing ammonia emissions only as far as targets set out by the Gothenburg Protocol will not necessarily ensure compliance with EU PM limits, according to a new study. Greater reductions in ammonia emissions would reduce the number of days when PM limit values are exceeded, the researchers found. In ...

Information on digestate storage and spreading
A reminder that last year there were two documents published that affect digestate spreading and storage. These are the Farming Rules for Water and the Code of Good Agricultural Practice for Reducing Ammonia Emissions. Farming Rules for Water These detail what must be done to manage manure, fertiliser and soil to prevent runoff, erosion and leaching. We have put together a briefing note on ...

A new global map of ammonia emissions
For the first time, a global map of atmospheric ammonia emissions has been produced using satellite measurements. This opens up new ways to survey air quality and monitor the Earth's atmospheric chemistry from space. Modern agricultural practices, especially intensive farming methods and widespread fertiliser use, are mainly responsible for ammonia emissions, which have more than doubled since ...

New initiative will reduce air pollution from agriculture
Ammonia emissions into the air is a major threat to human health, causing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Atmospheric ammonia is also a significant source of acidification and excess nutrient loading, causing loss of biodiversity in many of the most vulnerable ecosystems. This calls for stronger action to reduce emissions. Ammonia or NH3 mainly comes from manure produced by livestock ...

New 10.5m Slurry Applicators
Abbey Machinery have a range of Slurry Applicators to significantly reduce ammonia emissions, efficiently apply nutrients to the crop and reduce purchased chemical fertiliser costs. Machines in the range include Vertical Trailing Shoe, Tri-App Trailing Shoe, Band Spreaders and Disc Injectors. The benefits of these machines are the method they deliver the slurry onto the soil to harness value, ...

Air pollution from agriculture: ammonia exceeds emission limits in 2015
Ammonia (NH3) emissions in Europe have fallen since 1990, but not as much as emissions of other air pollutants tracked under an internationally agreed United Nations Convention. According to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report published today, ammonia emissions increased in 2015 and several European Union Member States as well as the EU as a whole exceeded their respective NH3 emission ...

CERC launches MAQS-Health coupled air quality modelling system
This ambitious SPF Clean Air project, led by CERC, has developed a new world-leading coupled air quality modelling system spanning national to urban street scales and accounting for physical and chemical processes at all relevant scales: from thousands of kilometres to metres, and from seconds to days or weeks. We launched the system on 24th March at an online workshop with 50 stakeholders from ...

Air pollution from agriculture: EU exceeds international emission limit in 2014
Ammonia emissions in Europe have fallen since 1990, but by not as much as emissions of other air pollutants tracked under an internationally agreed United Nations convention. According to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA), ammonia emissions increased in 2014, meaning several EU Member States as well as the EU now exceed their respective ammonia emission limits under the ...

Measuring the impacts of the Nitrates Directive on nitrogen emissions
The EU’s Nitrates Directive has led to significant decreases in nitrogen pollution in Europe, a new study suggests. Modelled scenarios with and without implementation of the Directive showed that it had resulted in a 16% reduction of nitrate leaching by 2008. These improvements could be further increased as implementation becomes stricter, the researchers conclude. More nitrogen is applied ...

Defra release UK emissions of air pollutants – 2009 results
This National Statistics release covers 2009 results from the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) for UK emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) and ammonia. These four pollutants are primarily responsible for acidification and eutrophication which can be damaging to ecosystems, and the formation of ground-level ozone which can be ...

Deadly effect of farming’s dirty needs
Farming is a dirty business – so dirty now that, according to new research, air pollution from agriculture in the form of fine particles of lung-choking dust outweighs all other human sources of that kind of pollution. These particles are calculated to cause around 3.3 million deaths a year worldwide − and most of this lung-penetrating murk is from fertilisers. Back in 1950, the ...
