RESULTS
Particulate Matter (PM) Assessment
Data obtained showed higher particle concentration
with PM5 size and particles were
predominantly PM10 (Table 2 and Figure 1).
Figure 1 presents the distribution of particle size
and shows that there is a similar trend in all
swine farms, with high concentration of particles
with PM5 and PM10 size. With respect to
PM contamination distribution, areas where fattening
and quarantine occurred were the sites
with higher levels (Figure 2).
