Description

The project objectives are to

- to compare ammonia concentrations using different monitoring techniques:
o 11 passive alpha samplers in transects and 2 Directional Passive Air Samplers (DPAS)
- to inform better advice and guidance to farmers on ammonia mitigation and guidance for potential inclusion in future environmental land management schemes
