The USDA estimates that more than 335 million tons of manure are produced annually on U.S. farms.⁵ Stored for long periods of time in giant tanks or lagoons, the animal waste decomposes and pollutes the air with hundreds of different gases.⁶ These storage facilities are often located next to animal confinement facilities, with the livestock and the people who work with them continually exposed to harmful gases.⁷ Additional air pollution is caused when huge amounts of stored manure are sprayed onto fields.

Hydrogen sulfide, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide are the major hazardous gases produced by decomposing manure.⁸ The EPA estimates that methane emissions from manure increased by 26 percent in the United States between 1990 and 2004, due primarily to larger, more concentrated dairy cow and swine facilities.⁹

4. fruit and vegetables - pesticides
