The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential effects of livestock odors on the health and well-being of neighbors. Complaints of odor nuisance have become more frequent in communities surrounding areas with high concentrations of livestock. This increase in complaints from livestock odors parallels increased complaints of odor in general, including ammonia, diesel exhaust, beauty products, cleaners, and paints. Persons who report symptoms from odors generally find problems with many different types of odorous compounds. A review of recent studies suggests that the main complaints of health symptoms from odors are eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache, and drowsiness. Sensory irritation (pungency) can be produced by a broad range of odorous volatile organic compounds from trees, flowers, foods (pepper and ginger) as well as emissions from livestock operations. Odors can also potentially affect mood and memory. Further research is required to assess fully the health impact of odors in order to establish recommendations for air quality guidelines based on scientific data.
本文的目的是研究牲畜气味对邻居健康和幸福的潜在影响。在牲畜高度集中地区周边的社区，气味滋扰投诉变得越来越频繁。牲畜气味投诉的增加与一般气味投诉的增加同步，包括氨、柴油废气、美容产品、清洁剂和油漆。报告因气味出现症状的人通常会发现许多不同类型的有气味化合物存在问题。对近期研究的综述表明，气味导致健康症状的主要投诉是眼睛、鼻子和喉咙刺激、头痛和嗜睡。感官刺激（刺鼻）可由来自树木、花卉、食物（胡椒和生姜）的多种有气味挥发性有机化合物以及牲畜养殖场的排放物产生。气味还可能潜在地影响情绪和记忆。为了基于科学数据制定空气质量指南建议，需要进一步研究以全面评估气味对健康的影响。
