Participate in this webinar to better understand how agricultural activities can generate particulate matter, and what can be done to manage it.
The webinar will provide information about how mechanically-generated agricultural particulate matter (PM) emissions occur, what factors may influence emission amounts, and how these emissions may contribute to air quality deterioration. Impacts on local, regional and global air quality also will be examined. Particulate matter mitigation options that may be used by landowners to reduce emissions during on-farm operations will be discussed, including key NRCS conservation practices. An NRCS success story about reduced PM emissions and improved air quality will conclude the webinar.
This webinar is sponsored by the USDA NRCS National Air Quality and Atmospheric Change Team located at the West National Technology Support Center.
