Abstract

Air pollution of forage for dairy cattle is already a serious problem where industry is encroaching upon land used for production of feed and forage crops. In Pennsylvania, lead poisoning and serious metabolic disease. resulting from lime plant stack effluents have caused losses on dairy and beef cattle farms. Evidence of intoxication and other metabolic disturbances in cattle in areas close to industries warrants search of pastures or stored forage crops for toxic air pollutants. Pasture areas close to heavily travelled highways may contain appreciable quantities of lead. This situation appears to justify immediate concern by health and agriculture regulatory agencies.
