Odor Measurement in Animal Agriculture
Odors are the most common nuisance complaint associated with animal feeding operations (AFOs), but is one of the most challenging to measure. Unlike other air emissions from AFOs odor is not one easily identifiable gas or molecular compound. Instead, odor is made up of many (hundreds!) of individual odorous compounds. Complicating this scenario is the fact that each person on the receiving end of odor has a different perspective, different tolerance, and different interpretation of what they are smelling. The following materials were developed for college instructors to utilize in their classrooms when presenting about odors.

Air Emissions After Manure Land Application Including Subsurface Application of Poultry Litter and Solid Manure
When manure is land applied there are many different gases emitted, including greenhouse gases and those that contribute to odors. How much is emitted and how does that change with different application methods? This presentation was originally broadcast on September 18, 2009.
