Abstract
Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) have become a prevalent form of intensive animal production. They are operations that confine livestock for more than 45days, in an area that does not produce vegetation, and meets size thresholds. CAFOs can have considerable impacts on the environment because greater stocking density is directly associated with increased feed and manure production per unit of area. Resulting nutrient flows can cause pollution to air, soil, and water. Pollutants associated with CAFOs are the focus of both air quality regulations and public policy discussions. This article reviews the primary air pollutants associated with CAFOs.
