About | The air in modern poultry barns contains high concentrations of dust particles including endotoxins and microorganisms. When inhaled these form a health risk for local residents. Wageningen University & Research conducts research into the sources of dust and developed methods to measure the dust concentration, and is now developing technical measures to reduce emissions. We also investigate how dust particles spread outside the barn, the exposure to local residents and which health effects are related to this . |
