secondwind: Should We Be Raising a Stink About Hog Farms -
U.S. studies link respiratory problems to intensive hog operations
Spring 2000
[Dr. Melva Fager Okun's] concerns are shared by Dr. David Wong,
a pediatrician in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. "People living
close to hog farms can have problems with their respiratory system," he
says. "Hog farms are notorious for the odor. Hogs eat a lot, and pass a
lot of excreta, with high ammonia content. It can be highly irritating
to the airways of people, especially those who have sensitive airways."
People whose asthma is not under good control, he says, "will have more problems than others."
