Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment for Estimating Setback Distance from Spray Irrigation of Liquid Manure

Objective

Use QMRA to define the setback distance at which there is a reduced risk of illness from airborne pathogens from manure irrigation. Perform sensitivity analyses to identify those variables driving the transmission process from source to receptor that contribute the greatest uncertainty to the defined setback.
