The National Air Quality Site Assessment Tool (NAQSAT) was developed for poultry and livestock producers to assist in determining the areas on their operations where changes can result in reduced air emissions.
A Webinar to help explain how to use the tool is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 20 at 2:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time). This is the first of a two part series.
The tool addresses eight constituents of concern that relate to air emissions: animals and housing, feed and water, collection and transfer of manure, manure storage, land application, mortalities, on-farm records and public perception.
NAQSAT can be used for swine, dairy, beef, broilers chickens, laying hens and turkey operations. NAQSAT is an on-line tool, developed for voluntary and educational use.
