Objective Summary
To quantify emission rates for pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella spp Escherichia coli Campylobacter jejuni/coli Staphylococcus) from typical tunnel ventilated meat chicken sheds To evaluate the potential for human healtheffects by these emissions evaluated by combining measured emissions gaussian air dispersion models bacterial survival models and applying quantitative risk assessment methodology
