Dust has been implicated as a major contributor to the increased incidence of respiratory disorders next to swine and workers. Unlike gaseous contaminants, the dust is not uniformly distributed within swine buildings. Dust spatial distribution is an important variable to understand the nature of dust transportation and to implement appropriate control strategies. There is a lack of data on dust spatial distribution in lvestock confinement buildings because of inadequate sampling techniques. Experimental results show that there is a high variation in the dust spacial distribution within the mechanically ventilated swine building. Ventilation rate, diurnal change of weather, oil sprinkling and air cleaning using an aerodynamic deduster all affect the dust spatial distribution.
