1 NH3 Emissions for Regional Air Quality Modeling
2 Motivation and Questions Motivation NH3 plays a key role in secondary aerosol formation impact on health & regional haze NH3 deposits readily and contributes to N deposition in pristine ecosystems Questions What are the major sources of NH3 within the region? For the major sources, what are the uncertainties in the emission factors? For the major sources, how well do we know the activity levels? For the major sources, how do environmental or operating practices affect emission rates? NH3 emissions are uncertain, but how sensitive are model results to these uncertainties? Is near-source NH3 deposition an issue within a grid modeling framework?

6 Beef and dairy cattle NH3 emission factors (lb/head/year; Chinkin et al. 2003) Dairy 48 to 74 lb/head/yr Beef 29 to 88 lb/head/yr
7 Recent Feedlot Emission Results (Flesch et al., 2007) Spring and summer 0.15 kg/head/day Extrapolated annual emission factor: 55 kg/head/yr or 120 lb/head/yr
8 Recent EI adjustments: Columbia River Gorge Visibility Modeling Analysis (Environ, 2007) Comparison of 2002 NEI and Environ NH3 GIS EI (1) Ammonia emissions from confined area feeding operations (CAFO), such as dairies, were understated by factors of 1.5 to approximately 3, depending on the type of manure handling conducted at each (i.e., flush, scrape, drylot/pasture, or deep-pit); (2) Ammonia emissions from fertilizer application were understated by upwards of a factor of three for anhydrous and aqueous ammonia application sources, and by a factor of 2.5 for nitrogen solution fertilizer application sources.

19 Questions remain What are the major sources of NH3 within the region? Fertilizer vs livestock which is larger? Biogenic natural soil emissions very few measurements. For the major sources, what are the uncertainties in the emission factors? Factor of two or more in available factors For the major sources, how well do we know the activity levels? For the major sources, how do environmental or operating practices affect emission rates? Seasonal changes, diurnal changes NH3 emissions are uncertain, but how sensitive are model results to these uncertainties--how accurate does an emission inventory need to be? Is near-source NH3 deposition an issue within a grid modeling framework? What is required to improve our ability to construct more accurate emission inventories for NH3?

23 Housing Emissions Model Calculates liquid NH3 concentration based upon cow factors Uses milk production, dietary Na, K, and N intake, body weight, and week of lactation -> urinary urea Assumes excess of urease from manure Converts urea to ammonia-n Partitions ammonia-n between NH 3 and NH 4 + based upon ph, (ph = lagoon ph) Calculates volatilization based upon temperature
24 Lagoon Emissions Model Calculates lagoon ammonia-n concentration based upon temperature Partitions ammonia-n between NH 3 and NH 4+ based upon ph, ph = 7.8 Calculates volatilization based upon temperature Uses Gaussian plume model to calculate downwind concentrations
