1. Measure air concentration fields with passive sampler (low cost to cover large surface).
2. Compare NH3 air concentration fields generated by different field application methods of slurry
3. Preliminary estimate of emission rates related to the activities.
Compare NH3 volatilization resulting from different field applications and storage methods for slurry

Type of activities / Experiments already carried out
Inter-calibration of 3 types of passive samplers with a photoacustic monitor (Innova) inside a pig farm installations- 2005
Comparison of different ways to cover the storage containers of slurry (Balsas 2005)
Comparison of different techniques for application of slurry in agricultural lands and grasslands, including as control mineral fertilizer (2004-05)
Concentration fields around different pig and poultry installation 2005

Intercalibration
2 types of samplers are being tested.
T. I (H2SO4 impregnated mesh)
T.II (Citric acid impregnated filter)
Under very high concentrations, samplers were not showing saturation before 2 days of exposure
Type I showed to be better in terms of reproducibility for low concentrations. Therefore was selected for the gradients with short exposures, and type I was kept for field concentrations, were minimum time of exposure were above 12 h
Type I
Type II

Concluding Remarks
Slurry storage
The use of plastic cover results in very low or no emissions, followed by the use of straw (with substantial reductions, >60 %), being the formation of natural crust less efficient (around 30% reduction). Problems were found in the reference since it was very difficult to prevent the formation of the crust.
Although emission rates may still be not best ones, in terms of comparability the experimental design let us to cost efficiently compare among different treatments.
The results are preliminary, and should be taken with caution.

Concluding Remarks
Slurry application It is difficult to determine the background concentration in the areas
were the different experiments were held, likely around 8 gr m-3.
It seems that the different techniques of application performed similarly for the two different land uses where slurry as applied in terms of what is best, being injection and band application similar in term of emission reduction in our cases
Although emission rates may still be not best ones, in terms of comparability the experimental design let us to compare efficiently among different treatments.
Most of the emissions happened within the 48 h after application. The importance of the temperature in the 48 h period after application needs to be further studied .... For example, select colder days (Q: Are emissions increased later by raising the temperature?)
