Abstract: Ammonia (NH3) emissions from livestock production significantly contribute to formation of PM2.5, posing a major environmental concern. Over the past two decades, compared to other regions in China, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei (BTH) region, has been suffering from high NH3 emissions due to increased urbanization and resulting intensified agricultural production. Uneven distribution of livestock leads to separation of crop and livestock, resulting in the waste of manure resources and environmental pollution.
