Agrivita Activity 3: Fugitive Emissions Following Manure Spreading 

Manure spreading on agricultural land is a common practice, but it can contribute to pollution and pose a potential hazard to human and animal health. The main goal of this project is to quantify emissions of airborne contaminants to provide a better understanding of the health risks associated with manure spreading and determine the best strategies to mitigate these risks.
The Fugitive Emissions Following Manure Spreading - Risk Assessment & Engineering project is one part of Agrivita Canada Inc.’s Canadian AgriSafety Applied Science Program, led by a team of researchers at the Research and Development Institute for the Agri-Environment (IRDA, www.irda.qc.ca) with support from the Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Québec (www.iucpq.qc.ca) and the Canadian Centre for Rural and Agricultural Health (CCRAH, cchsa-ccssma.usask.ca). This video was prepared by the CCRAH for Agrivita Canada Inc. (www.agrivita.ca) and the Canadian AgriSafety Applied Science Program, which is supported under the Canadian Agricultural Strategic Priorities Program (CASPP).
