Doi: 10.1080/10473289.2011.599282 Particulate matter (PM) emitted from cattle feedlots are thought to affect air quality in rural communities, yet little is known about factors controlling their emissions. The concentrations of PM (i.e., P[M.sub.2.5], P[M.sub.10], and total suspended particulates or TSP) upwind and downwind at two large cattle feedlots (KS1, KS2) in Kansas were measured with gravimetric samplers from May 2006 to October 2009 (at KS1) and from September 2007 to April 2008 (at KS2). The mean downwind and net (i.e., downwind--upwind) mass concentrations of P[M.sub.2.5], P[M.sub.10], and TSP varied seasonally, indicating the need for multiple-day, seasonal sampling. The downwind...
