341 Air Quality and Agriculture: Challenges and Solutions

Sustainable agriculture production faces the greatest challenges in complying with the increasingly environmental regulations. This symposium will present the major air-quality issues associated with production agriculture. The symposium will cover issues realted to particulate matter, fumigants and VOCs, and greenhouse gases.
