Ammonia has been wrongly missing in portraying air pollution impacts
Nitrogen is essential for all living things. Synthetic fertilizer, which contains rich reactive nitrogen, has sustained food production and thereby the global population, but the nitrogen it emits is also a burden to the environment–air pollution, soil acidification, water eutrophication,…
Surprise! Ammonia emitted from fertilized paddy fields mostly doesn’t end up in the air
Livestock production and nitrogen fertilizer used in croplands emit lots of ammonia, which is the most abundant alkaline gas in ambient air. In recent years, Chinese scientists have suggested reducing ammonia emissions as an effective measure to alleviate aerosol pollution…
