Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the environmental footprint of pig production in Spain and Italy, focusing on ammonia and particulate matter emissions from livestock housing using Life Cycle Assessment.
- It compares a baseline scenario to two air treatment technologies (wet scrubber and dry scrubber) to assess their effectiveness in reducing emissions and identifies key environmental trade-offs involving energy and resource usage.
- Findings suggest that both scrubbers can significantly reduce harmful emissions, particularly in Italian farms, but their implementation also brings additional environmental impacts that need to be considered for comprehensive sustainability.
