How Passive Air Sampling and AI Are Changing Air Quality Monitoring in Agriculture

Air quality isn’t just a buzzword in agriculture these days - it’s at the heart of how farms, scientists, and regulators keep track of what’s in the air around barns, lagoons, compost piles, and open fields. When you think about it, gases like ammonia or hydrogen sulfide don’t make up much of the air, but their effects are hard to ignore. They can make it tough to breathe, stir up problems with neighbors, and take a toll on the environment. With everyone - from the public to policymakers - demanding openness and sustainability, the push for solid, long-term air quality data is only growing.
