Future plans include
working livestock facilities and holding pens, but in the meantime we are able to utilize the local cattle companies working facilities.
Anecdotally, Gates says a high percentage of people who work
in livestock facilities, over time, develop respiratory issues.
The lead researcher on the project, Ehab Mostafa, collected the data
at livestock facilities in Germany, which are believed to be comparable in terms of dust to facilities in the United States, and conducted the first analysis.
Inside livestock facilities, the dust particles are much more abundant than in a living room, and can cause pulmonary problems for anyone who breathes the air, including the animals.
Since it is virtually impossible to
add livestock facilities to an area that must be transmogrified in a matter of months, the best option is aquarium equipment.
Gates says not
all livestock facility dust is alike.
The initiative does not affect individuals who raise hunting dogs,
livestock facilities, or animal rescue and shelter operators that are not involved in commercial sale of puppies.
