DUST POLLUTION IN BUILDINGS FOR HOUSING OF MEAT CHICKENS

The aim of this paper is to present the results of microclimatic research focused on dust pollution in agricultural buildings used for fattening of chickens. The attention is paid mainly to the construction and influence of the ventilation system. The overall layout of the farm and the ventilation system solutions significantly affect the quality of the indoor climate in terms of dust in the halls for poultry. In the frame of this research the concentration of air dust was measured by exact instrument Dust-Track aerosol monitor. Using the special impactors the PM1, PM2.5, PM4, PM10 size fractions were also measured. The obtained results of measurements were evaluated and concentrations of different size of dust particles were analysed. Results of different indoor conditions were generalized. Based on the results of the measurements practical recommendations for the design, use and ventilation of these types of buildings were summarized in the conclusions.
