Significance of agricultural NH3 sources Ambient NH3 changes in response to chicken culls Ambient PM change in response to NH3 changes Emission factors and inventories from poultry industry
Deployment of AMS and MOUDI during the “chicken” study • Two AMS’ were deployed sequentially at the Abbotsford Airport GVRD site (Aug – Sep and Sep Nov, 2004 • First data from early Aug indicate very low ammonium/nitrate/sulfate • AMS measurements and data collection continues unattended until early Nov 04 • MOUDI sampling on a 12 hour basis in Oct – Nov
First Special Issue • 14 papers in the 1st special issue • Papers appeared on web site, printed version expected in Nov 04 • 3 papers in other journals
Second Special Issue • Papers submitted • Wang, Aklilu, Leithead, Cheng • Papers in preparation • Anlauf, Norman, McLaren, Sukloff • Need to have more papers from other PIs • Huang, Brook, Lu, others? • Summary paper • Vingarzan
Pacific 2001 Data • Existing Data • 71% of expected data sets • Continuous submission of data
