City pollution by farmers...

UK farming causes over a quarter of cities’ particle pollution, study finds

Innovation in agricultural sector is needed if cities are to solve air pollution problems, say scientists

Could it be caused by the ad blue from cars as it's in citys..?

Killing them with the food we produce, now killing them with the air that they breath, best stop I’m imbibing either.

If I understand it correctly (and happy to be corrected) ammonia from farms is only a health issue once it reacts with pollutants from traffic fumes to form particulates.

Someone needs to pay a scientist to show how reducing traffic fumes would bring about a greater health benefit than reducing ammonia. One of our national bodies maybe.

Surely farmers who live nearest their livestock buildings should have the worst health. Talk about a load of crap, literally.

"It's not the ammonia. It's the particulates formed when ammonia reacts with emissions from supermarket lorries. The way to improve human health, reduce pollution and revitalize our communities, is to cut food miles and re-localize our food systems"

NFU statement.

Be interesting to see how ammonia levels in city’s during lockdown compare with this data they’re using

Smacks of the narrative to demonise livestock like in The Netherlands.

Look round any country school and you see where the healthiest kids come from, with all that nasty ammonia, methane and nitrous oxide.

It’s a shame farmers won’t work together shut the gates for a few weeks f**k the lot of them let people go hungry

Next thing they will say is don‘t get within 10 metres of a cow in case you get methane poisoning from it!

I didn't know Norfolk was a big dairy area!! (referenced in the article as one of the worst areas)

Methane emissions from peat land?

If I even sniffed as a farm student, I was sent to muck out the calves.

Yes let’s farm mostly in the City of London like they used to in the 18th century.
Otherwise I suggest farmers all semi-retire to produce less than a quarter of current output. If short, let them eat cake in a completely sanitised, dust free, toxin free, germ and virus free, sterile city, while their arses are plugged up so they don’t produce any shït to pollute the rivers and seas with bacteria and hormones that change the sex of fish.

The ultimate answer is to reduce demand of course. Send people to processing factories to reduce their numbers by 90% while feeding the rest with high protein green biscuits, just like dog biscuits are currently made. Most of the surplus disposable 90% don’t do anything worthwhile other than moan about pollution, so they should queue up voluntarily at the biscuit processing factories. Robots could do their work, without even producing any breath contaminated with deadly carbon dioxide.
Truth to tell, there would be ample capacity to process those unsuitable for human consumption in the slaughterhouses closed after farming was abandoned as the grossly polluting useless, planet destroying people killing surplus industry, way past its use-by date that it is.

One point to remember is that it's in the guardian, it's playing to its metro central gullible audience, sorry missed out the words very small before audience

They seem to forget that there will be millions of gallons of ammonia producing waste flowing through pipes beneath their feet.
Under going chemical reactions producing gas that needs to be vented somewhere stop explosions.
Hell a few hundred pigs can generate a bit. Can you imagine what 7 million people generate and then there's bleach and other chemicals in the mix as well!
