Special issue on emissions from naturally ventilated livestock buildings

The idea of this Special Issue was initiated during a technical session entitled 'Emission from naturally ventilated buildings' at the World Congress of the International Commission of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (CIGR) in Quebec in June 2010. During this Quebec meeting, participants agreed to review the challenges associated with emission measurement from naturally ventilated livestock buildings and the future research needs.
