- Science of Odor as a Potential Health Issue

FUTURE PERSPECTIVE 

Sustainable agriculture requires production and distribution systems that minimize adverse effects on health, safety, and the environment. Practices must be economically viable, environmentally sound, and socially responsible. This includes reduction or elimination of odorous aerial pollution that evokes health complaints and impairs quality of life in neighboring communities. Using the swine industry as a model, the continued sustainability of this industry in North Carolina represents a model of scientific, social, and political challenges regarding environmental and health effects associated with odor emissions. The technologies described in this text represent a work in progress incorporating models of coordinated research and development to address salient issues that may influence the future of animal agriculture not only in North Carolina but also in many parts of the world.
