Trend and variability of average particulate matter mass concentration, temperature, and relative humidity in study of respirable aerosol production and reduction of avian influenza transmission risk during chicken processing, Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, Savar, Dhaka, 2020. Results are shown for single (1 chicken at a time) and multiple (4 chickens at a time) chicken slaughtering events and defeathering events (1 chicken at a time). PM2.5, particulate matter <2.5 μm in diameter.
