Diffusion model simulation of odor pollutants in livestock and poultry farms based on environmental monitoring of the Internet of Things

Abstract

Livestock pollution is one of the main sources of agricultural pollution, which has a negative impact on the global environment. Monitoring, simulation and early warning of major pollutants emitted from livestock production is of great significance for reducing agricultural pollution. Especially, real-time comprehensive monitoring and early warning of the concentration and distribution of harmful gases could improve the harm of livestock production to people, livestock itself and the environment, and increase the safety level of livestock production. This study focused on the perception and monitoring of the discharge status of livestock farming simulation technics, mainly to carry out Internet of Things-based monitoring of the main components of livestock culture pollutants, and to use odor gas air dispersion software "ModOdor"to simulate the spread of pollutants. This study was aimed to determine the characteristics of pollutant diffusion in typical farms, which could provide decision reference to odor hygienic buffer zone and minimum shelter distance to achieve the ecological and safety objectives of livestock farming.
