Atmospheric transport of particulate matter and particulate-bound agrochemicals from beef cattle feedlots: human health implications for downwind agricultural communities

bioRxiv, 2023
Background Beef cattle feedlot-derived particulate matter (PM) is a complex mixture of dust, animal waste, agrochemicals, and bioaerosols. No empirical data currently exists quantifying human exposure of PM-bound agrochemicals downwind of feedlots ...

Modeling Intervention Scenarios During Potential Foot-and-Mouth Disease Outbreaks Within U.S. Beef Feedlots

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease of livestock and has severely affected livestock industries during the past two decades in previously FMD-free countries. The disease was eliminated in North America in 1953 but remains a threat

PM10 emission from feedlots in soils with different texture: Cattle trampling effect

, 2021
Cattle feedlot surfaces can be an important aerosol source, but they have barely been studied. The action of the hooves on the loose, dry layer of soil and manure creates ideal conditions for particulate matter (PM) emissions. The objectives of this work
