Evaluating draft Environmental Protection Agency emissions models for broiler operations by G. Li, R.S. Gates, Y. Xiong, B.C. Ramirez, R.T. Burns

“…For example, lower bird inventory (<20,000 birds per house) generally resulted in much greater emission factors per bird, but should be relatively constant for different inventories at the same environmental conditions; all particulate matter models predicted negative emissions at lower bird inventories; and of the 5 air pollutant models presented, only ammonia was found to be potentially limiting for larger farms in terms of exceeding the threshold of 100 tons per yr. …”
