✦ Synopsis
A #oating rectangular polyvinyl chloride (PVC) open bottom chamber coupled with a molecular sieve trap was designed to measure the amounts of nitrous oxide gas (N O) emitted during aerobic treatment or storage of liquid animal slurries. A number of outdoor calibration trials, using water and a standard gas mixture, resulted in an average N O recovery of 79$8%. Further experiments carried out on a farm scale aerobic treatment unit con"rmed the reliability and ease of use of the method.
