Abstract

Air pollution generates hazardous pollutants that have resulted in safety, health, and other welfare issues of food animals. This paper reviewed scientific research advancement in food animal welfare-related air pollution based on 219 first-hand research publications in refereed journals (referred to as "RPs") over the past nine decades. Scientific studies in this area began in the 1930s. The number of RPs has increased significantly with each decade from the 1960s to the 1980s, then decreased until the 2010s. Twenty-six countries have contributed to this multidisciplinary research. About 52% of the studies were conducted in the U.S. and U.K. Research activities have surged in China since the 2010s. On-farm discoveries in air toxicity that resulted in animal death or injury were all from observational studies. About 75% of the studies were experimental and conducted primarily under laboratory conditions. Ammonia (NH3) was the main pollutant in 59% of the RPs, followed by dust, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), bacteria and endotoxins, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), silo gas, sulfur dioxide (SO2), and odor. Approximately 23% of RPs reported multiple pollutants in the same study. The most intensively studied animal species wer...Continue Reading
