Abstract

The OPS model has been used throughout the last few decades in various studies for policy support as well as in research projects. It is applied for pollutants such as particulate matter and compounds such as SO₂, NO_x and NH₃. Recently, the OPS short-term model has been extended to calculate the exposure of residents to other substances emitted by livestock farms. This includes firstly the dispersion of endotoxins and micro-organisms, which could potentially cause detrimental health effects (e.g. respiratory symptoms, influenza) and secondly the dispersion of odour, used in studies on odour nuisance. We will briefly introduce the model and present a number of applications with emphasis on the dispersion of substances released by livestock farms.
