There is a cattle farm loaded with tons of animals along I-40 along Amarillo Texas and the smell of piss is so strong it makes your nose burn and eyes water. Breathing in the byproducts of cow manure, such as ammonia and particulate matter, can cause health problems. Ammonia can contribute to haze and make it hard to breathe, while particulate matter can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream.
The Amarillo tannery on South Cleveland Street processes cattle hides and trimmings, and some locals say the smell has intensified recently. The tannery tries to limit the smell by washing down the plant and machinery and keeping inventory low. Cow excrement and dust from industrial feedlots can cause health problems if breathed in over time.
