title: [A proposal for calculating the dustlike particle emissions from livestock buildings].
abstract: Particles emitted from livestock buildings are supposed to cause health implications in nearby residents. This increasingly causes conflicts between farmers and neighbours. At the same time the national emission control regulations are tightened and focus also on the environmental impact of particulate emissions. In front of this background a calculation model is presented by which the emitted masses of PM10 and PM2.5 from animal houses can be estimated. The model may help to establish emission inventories for particulates in rural areas with livestock production and can become a valuable instrument of the emission control act. The validity of the proposed model depends largely on the quality and amount of the input data. The more valid data are available the more precise the model can work. Therefore it will be necessary to improve the data sets on emission amounts for PM10 and PM2.5. In spite of these limitations it appears that a first and reliable estimation of particulate emission amounts from animal buildings can be given by the proposed model calculation.
