Common pollutants that foul the air inside Animal Facilities
Animal centers take on high levels of many pollutants, and they come in from all sorts of sources.
Particulate Matter
Dust, dander, bedding bits and feed all give it off.
Ammonia
Animal waste, mostly urine, produces ammonia.
TVOC
Cleaning agents, disinfectants and chemicals emit it.
Pathogens
Poorly stored feed can breed bacteria, viruses and fungi inside.
Carbon Dioxide
Too little fresh air pushes CO2 levels up indoors.
Sources of air pollution in animal centers
Animal centers gather air pollution from many sources, both indoors and outdoors.Farms | Laboratories | Health Care

Keeping the Air Clean Is a Challenge
Animal care centers run into several hurdles when they try to keep the indoor air clean, such as:
Ventilation Systems
Systems that work poorly cut the air exchange and leave rooms short of fresh air.
Control of Temperature and Humidity
Animals need both to stay comfortable, yet the weather outdoors can upset the settings.
Cross-Contamination
Poor airflow control in an animal center carries airborne pollutants from room to room.Who is at Risk?
Air pollution can threaten the health of everyone inside an animal center.
Animal Health
In any animal center, poor air can bring on breathing distress, infections and other health problems for the animals.
Staff and farmworkers
Poor air on animal farms, in labs and in care centers can harm staff health too, and over time it may lead to a range of health problems.
Research outcomes
Air pollutants can shift research outcomes, since they may alter the data or lead to invalid conclusions.Air pollution Guidelines for Animal Centers
