Review of legal requirements on ammonia and greenhouse gases emissions from animal production buildings in European countries

Information about the current legal requirements related to the emission of ammonia and greenhouse gases from animal housing in 21 EU and 5 non-EU countries is presented. Overall the review shows that most of the included countries have established procedures to limit ammonia emissions, however there are no requirements to limit greenhouse gas emission. The review indicates that the important animal producing countries have implemented the EU requirements, and, that only a few countries with a large pig population have implemented requirements that are stricter than what is required by the EU. This is a unique overview of the situation that has gained nearly 400 reads in Research Gate since June 2019.
