Air pollution and their mitigation measures in Brazilian poultry production
Résumé
The Brazilian broiler industry is the most prominent branch in farming, due to its high levels of
productivity. However, there is a growing concern about the environmental damages caused by such an
activity, in special the atmospheric air pollution, as a consequence of the high volume of residues
generated and the damages made to the environment. Air pollution, despite being most of the time
detected by undesirable odoriferous substances, can be caused by numerous atmospheric pollutants
such as particulate matter, odorless gases, non-volatile compounds, amongst others. This negatively
impacts the health of both humans and animals, as well as of the surrounding ecosystem. Broiler
production can be understood as a range of steps necessary to poultry meat production. Hence, their
emissions can be computed all the way from the grain production, the feed fabrication, the poultry
farming to, finally, the slaughtering and recycling of animal based products. As the poultry chain is
well-segmented in its functions, it is necessary to establish and quantify the real impacts caused by its
sectors and define mitigation controlling measures in regards to air pollutants.
