These particles, with a diameter of 2.5 (PM2.5) and 10. m (PM10), are regulated by government agencies. Emission of PM2.5 and PM10 can result from high winds eroding agricultural lands, tilling soils and harvesting agricultural crops, processing agricultural products, and trafficking from livestock. Information in this article focuses on dust emission rates from various agricultural sources and best management practices to reduce emissions from these agricultural sources.
