Ammonia Source: Pig housing and manure/slurry/dirty water storage, removal and spreading Neighbouring dwelling houses within 400m of the installation Pigs and staff: high levels can cause respiratory problems Also perceived as a nuisance as it contributes to odours Surrounding vegetation: direct toxic effect and changes to sensitive ecosystems Surrounding land: Nutrient enrichment and acidification of soils Air Measures as described in ‘How to Comply – Intensive Farming’ Mitigation measures as for odour Feed formulated to pig requirements and to minimise amount of ammonia produced Rations under periodic review Reduced slatted area in housing Provision of sufficient straw in bedding to bind nitrogen, where appropriate Ventilation and heating control systems designed to provide optimal environment and regularly monitored and maintained Covered slurry store fitted with double gate valves Regular monitoring of tank and contents and maintenance of facilities and equipment Frequency of slurry/manure removal to optimise pen cleanliness The impact of ammonia on air emissions from the installation has been assessed using the H1 methodology and detailed air dispersion modelling The results demonstrate that there will be little likelihood of impact to nearby wildlife sites Aerial deposition and direct toxic effect on trees Nutrient enrichment of soils and changes to sensitive ecosystems Respiratory problems in humans and mammals Not significant
