This chapter focuses on the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), ammonia, particulate matter (PM), odours and volatile organic compounds from layer production systems. It discusses the types of emissions and the factors affecting them. The chapter then provides an overview of the options to mitigate emissions that are currently available for layer production, while clearly defining shortcomings, knowledge gaps, and barriers associated with each of them.
