The estimated emissions from proposed four ESTs for each measurement period were compared with the estimated emissions from baseline farms, after the later are adjusted for the average environmental parameters (lagoon temperature and air temperature) observed at the EST sites. The ESTs at Barham Farm and Grinnell's Laboratory were more effective in reducing the ammonia emission during one of the two sampling periods. However, based on the current research results and analysis, and available information in the scientific literature, the evaluated alternative technologies may require additional technical modifications to be qualified as Environmentally Superior as defined by the NC Attorney General Agreements.

Ammonia (NH₃) emitted from the use of fertilizers during agricultural practice generates particulate matter and odors. The application of carbonized rice husk, an eco-friendly material, is one of the measures used to reduce NH₃. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the application rate and pH of carbonized rice husk on NH₃ emissions and soil quality. An experiment to assess NH₃ emissions was performed in a glasshouse using a static chamber method. The pH of the carbonized rice husk was divided into acidic, neutral, and basic groups, and the carbonized rice husk application rates were 1, 3, and 5% of the soil weight. NH₃ emissions showed a sharp increase within three days after the inorganic fertilizer was applied. Subsequently, NH₃ emissions decreased rapidly after basal fertilization compared to primary and secondary top-dressing. When carbonized rice husks were applied to soil, NH₃ emissions decreased in all treatments, and neutral carbonized rice husk was the most effective in comparison with acidic and basic carbonized rice husk. The application rate of carbonized rice husk and NH₃ emissions showed a negative correlation, and the lowest emissions were found in units with a 5% application rate. Also, there was no statistically significant difference between NH₃ emissions according to the application rate of carbonized rice husk, and when carbonized rice husks were applied at a 5% rate, soil OM increased excessively. Therefore, it is recommended to apply only 1% neutral carbonized rice husk to most effectively reduce NH₃ emissions in the soil.

Many countries across the world are making efforts beyond reducing CO₂ levels and declaring 'net zero,' which aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions to zero by not emitting any carbon or capturing carbon, by 2050. Hydrogen is considered a key energy source to achieve carbon neutrality goals. Korean companies are also interested in building overseas green ammonia production plants and importing hydrogen into Korea in the form of ammonia. Green hydrogen production uses renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, but the variability of power production poses challenges in plant design. Therefore, optimization of the configuration of a green ammonia production plant using renewable energy is expected to contribute as basic information for securing the economic feasibility of green ammonia production.

대기중으로 휘산되는 대부분의 암모니아는 농경지에서 시용하는 가축분뇨 퇴비와 질소비료에서 유래한다. 본 연구는 밭 토양에서 돈분 퇴비 시용방법에 따른 암모니아 휘산량을 소형원드터널 방법을 이용해서 정량적으로 평가하였다. 돈분 퇴비(20 Mg/ha) 표층살포(SA), 표층살포 후 즉시 경운(IRA), 표층 살포 3일 후 경운(RA-3d) 처리의 13일 동안 암모니아 휘산량은 각각 28.7, 8.7, 24.3 kg N/ha로 IRA 처리구는 SA 처리구에 비해 70% 저감효과를 가져왔다. 그리고 SA 처리구의 퇴비 처리 후 24시간 이내 휘산된 암모니아 양은 총 휘산량의 61%로 대부분의 암모니아는 시용 초기 짧은 시간 내에 휘산됨을 알 수 있었다. 석회와 퇴비 혼용시용 후 교반(L+C mix), 퇴비표층 살포 3일후 석회시용 교반(C+L3D), 석회시용 3일 후 퇴비시용 교반(L+C3D) 처리구의 22일 동안 총 암모니아 휘산량은 각각 40.1, 31.4, 27.7 kg/ha이었다. 따라서 가축분 퇴비 시용시 석회를 혼용하는 것은 피해야 하며, 만일 동일 작기내 시용이 불가피할 경우는 퇴비시용에 앞서 석회를 먼저 충분한 일수를 앞두고 시용하는 것이 암모니아 휘산량을 저감시킬 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

비가림 시설에서 'Beni Balad' 포도재배 시 부숙유기질비료 및 Urea를 토양 시용에 의한 암모니아 배출량 산정과 과실품질에 미치는 영향은 다음과 같다. Urea는 처리 1일째부터 암모니아 배출량이 급격히 증가하기 시작하여 15일째에 peak를 이루다가 점차 감소하였으며 그 이후에는 다른 처리와 큰 차이는 없었다. COF2 처리는 처리 후 1일째 peak를 보이다가 점차 감소하였으며, 그 이후는 대조구와 비슷한 발생량을 나타내었다. COF1 처리는 1일째 증가하여 완만한 곡선을 이루다가 15일째에 peak를 이루고 점차 감소하여 그 이후 대조구와 비슷하였다. 140일간 암모니아 누적 배출량은 대조구 2.63, Urea 12.95, COF1 2.05, COF2 3.97 kg NH₃-N ha^-1 day^-1 이었다. 토양내 무기성분 함량이 COF2에서 암모니아태 질소는 유의하게 높았으며 수확시 엽병의 T-N 농도는 COF1 처리보다 COF2 처리가 0.1% 감소하였다. P와 K 농도는 COF1 처리로 인하여 증가하였으나 Ca와 Mg 농도는 차이가 없었다. 과실품질은 Urea 처리는 과피의 경도, 가용성 고형물 및 안토시아닌 함량은 증가하였고, COF1 처리는 가용성고형물 및 안토시아닌 함량은 증가하였으며, 산 함량은 전 처리 모두 증가하였다. 그러나 과중, 과방크기, Hunter L, a, b값에는 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과는 포도나무 Beni Balad 품종에서 Urea, 부숙유기질비료의 토양 시용 시 암모니아 배출량 산정에 기초자료가 될 것으로 판단되었다.

Objectives: A variety of industries handling hazardous chemicals emit odorous substances. Based on the emission characteristics of major odor substances from the results of hazardous chemical substance emissions, we will define basic data for improving the management methods of odorous substances. Methods: A survey of hazardous pollutant emissions for 2010-2016 was conducted through the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register homepage. Eight kinds of designated odor substances (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, acetaldehyde, styrene, toluene, xylene, methyl ethyl ketone) provided the study subjects. The status of chemical accidents for the target substances was analyzed using the Chemistry Safety Clearing-house system. Results: From 2010 to 2016, it was found that more than 30% of businesses that emitted odorous substances accounted for more than 50% of the total emissions of the eight substances. Emissions of xylene, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, and ammonia were found, in that order, and they made up more than 90% of the total emitted. By region, about 70% of odorous substances were emitted in the top-four regions: Gyeongsangnam-do Province, Ulsan, Gyeonggi-do Province, and Jeollanam-do Province. Conclusion: Recently, the amount of chemical emissions has been continuously increasing, including those that can cause odor. Odorous substances can be a serious risk to the lives of local residents. Systematic research is needed for the health protection of residents.

돈분 퇴비화 시 Alum 처리 수준이 증가함에 따라 전 퇴비화 과정에서 pH는 낮은 수준으로 유지되었지만, Alum-H 처리구는 퇴비화 초기 pH가 Alum-L와 대조구에 비해 현저히 낮았기 때문에 퇴비화 기간이 지연되었다. 퇴비화 35일 동안 누적 암모니아 휘산량은 Alum-L와 Alum-H 처리구에서 대조구에 비해 각각 31, 78% 감소되었다. Alum 처리는 돈분 퇴비 중 인산을 난용성 인산으로 전환시켜 수용성 인산의 함량을 현저히 감소 시켰다. 따라서 돈분의 퇴비화에 있어 Alum 첨가는 퇴비화 과정에서 질소 손실을 감소시키고, 농경지 활용시 인산 유출량을 저감 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Emission factors for ammonia and particulate matters (PMs) from livestock buildings are of increasing importance in view of the environmental protection. While the existing emission factors were determined based on the emission inventory of other countries, in situ measurement of emission factors is required to construct an accurate emission inventory for Korea. This study is to report measurements of ammonia and PMs emissions from mechanically-ventilated pig houses, which are common types of pig barns in Korea. Ventilation rates and concentrations of ammonia and PMs were measured at the ventilation outlets of a weaner unit, a growing pig unit and a fattening pig unit to calculated the emission factors. The PMs emission was characterized with different aerodynamic diameters (PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and total suspended particulates (TSP)). The measured ammonia emission factors for weaners, growing pigs and fattening pigs were 0.225, 0.869 and 1.679 kg animal^-1 yr^-1, respectively, showing linear increase with pigs' age. The PMs emission factors for three growing stages were 0.023, 0.237 and 0.241 kg animal^-1 yr^-1, respectively for TSP, 0.017, 0.072 and 0.223 kg animal^-1 yr^-1, respectively for PM₁₀, and 0.011, 0.016 and 0.151 kg animal^-1 yr^-1, respectively for PM_2.5. PMs emissions were increased with pigs' age due to increasing feed supply and animal movement. The measured emission factors were smaller than those of the existing emission inventory indicating that the existing ones overestimate the emissions from pig buildings and also suggesting that long-term in situ monitoring at various livestock buildings is required to construct the accurate emission inventory.

Objective: In our previous study, we observed that the addition of waste cooking oil (WCO) reduced ammonia (NH₃) emissions during laboratory-scale composting of dairy cattle manure under low-aeration condition. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of addition of WCO on NH₃ emissions reduction during pilot-scale composting of dairy cattle manure, which is close to the conditions of practical composting treatment. Methods: Composting tests were conducted using pilot-scale composting facilities (1.8 m³ of capacity). The composting mixtures were prepared from manure, sawdust, and WCO. Two treatments were set: without WCO (Control) and with WCO added to 3 wt% of manure (WCO3). Composting was conducted under continuous aeration at 40 L/min, corresponding to 22.2 L/(min·m³) of the mixture at the start of composting. The changes in temperatures, NH₃ concentrations in the exhaust gases, and contents of the composted mixtures were analyzed. Based on these analysis results, the effect of WCO addition on NH₃ emissions and nitrogen loss during composting was evaluated. Results: During composting, the temperature increase of the composting mixture became higher, and the decreases of weight and water content of the mixture became larger in WCO3 than in Control. In the decrease of weight, and the residual weight and water content of the mixture, significant differences (p<0.05) were detected between the two treatments at the end of composting. The NH₃ concentrations in the exhaust gases tended to be lower in WCO3 than in Control. Nitrogen loss was 21.5% lower in WCO3 than in Control. Conclusion: Reduction of NH₃ emissions by the addition of WCO under low aeration condition was observed in pilot-scale composting, as well as in laboratory-scale composting. This result suggests that this method is effective in reducing NH₃ emissions in practical-scale composting.
