Ammonia emissions from Calif. dairy herds contribute heavily to smog, study says. Democrat politicians excluded from study.

While people typically blame Southern California’s smog on automobiles, a
new study suggests that cows might be just as responsible, if not more so.

A large fraction of the region’s smog, especially the smallest particles,
is ammonium nitrate. Those particles form when ammonia, which is generated
by cars with certain types of catalytic converters and by bacteria that
consume cattle waste, reacts with nitrogen oxides that are produced in
large quantities in automobile emissions. Data gathered in and around the
Los Angeles basin in May 2010 suggest that the region’s 9.9 million autos
generate about 62 metric tons of ammonia each day.

However, ammonia emissions from dairy farms in the eastern portion of the
basin — home to about 298,000 cattle — range between 33 and 176 metric
tons per day, researchers report in Geophysical Research Letters. Ammonia
emissions from the dairy farms are concentrated, boosting atmospheric
levels of the gas to more than 100 times background levels, so efforts to
curb the farms’ emissions (perhaps by feeding the animals different diets)
might reduce smog more than those targeting cars.
