Introduction: Ozone

Introduction: Costs Health: Annually, 808,000 absences

are estimated in the Valley’s school district because of Asthma Agricultural: According to the Air District, ozone pollution causes as much as $300million of damage a year. (90% of that is in the San Joaquin Valley.)  Dairy Farm silage piles are considered to be creating a large amount of the damage to the air 4

Dairy Farm Silage Silage is fermented, high-

moisture feed During the fermentation process Sugars are converted to acids Oxygen supply is depleted Temperature fluctuates – in the final

phase, the temperature is ideally less than 20˚F above ambient temperature.

Carter, William P.L. UPDATED MAXIMUM INCREMENTAL REACTIVITY SCALE FOR REGULATORY

Conclusion Wet silage is the more damaging form of

15

silage The most dominant compound in wet silage is propanol Propanol reacts with a hydroxyl radical in the atmosphere and acetaldehyde is produced through a series of photochemical reactions Acetaldehyde is highly damaging to the atmosphere Limitations

Future Work Obtain more samples from the same

dairy farm to check for consistency in compound mixing ratios Sample during distribution time Determine the duration of wet silage after each distribution period Investigate correlation between propanol in silage and acetaldehyde surrounding silage and dairy farms Sample different types of silage at the same stages 16
