ABSTRACT
Agriculture is the source of gaseous, particulate matter emissions and the livestock production also generates the problem
of odor nuisance. To monitor and evaluate the scale of its environmental impact are used dedicated database systems which
function is collection, processing and visualization of data. The aim of the study was to design and make the database system
"Agricultural Air Pollution. Acquisition and Data Processing System" for monitoring air pollutions from agricultural
production. It is used to collect, process, report and analyze data. The main function of the system is the calculation of
gases (CH4, N2O, NH3), particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and odors emission from agricultural production. Gas and
particulate matter emissions are calculated on the basis of available, international and self-developed methodologies, while
the odor emissions based only on self-developed methodology. It will be possible to determine own specific emission factors
for Poland, using the collected data. In the future, the system may provide an extensive database and be useful to verify the
cyclic reports of greenhouse gases and particulate matter emission from agriculture. This knowledge may be helpful under
developing national strategies for this sector.
