¡¡In order to fully understand the acidification of precipitation, it is essential to determine ammonia emissions. Detailed gridded NH3 emission fluxes have been compiled for Europe. In East Asia they have been determined on a national basis. We have calculated NH3 emission fluxes from livestock and ferilizer applications in Japan and Korea on a 1¡¬latitude¡ß1¡¬ longitude basis. The maximum calculated NH3 emission fluxes for each of the 4 animal categories were 4740, 4740, 4600, and 5180 tonnes NH3/grid/y from pigs in the central part of Korea, in the central part of Korea, dairy cows in the eastern part of Hokkaido, beef cattle in the central part of Korea, and poultry in the southern part of Kyushu, respectively. The total NH3 emissions from livestock in Japan and Korea were 4.41, 4.61, 6.02, and 7.77¡ß104 tonnes NH3/y and 2.41, 1.15, 3.71, and 1.92¡ß104 tonnes NH3/y from pigs, dairy cows, beef cattle, and poultry, respectively. The overall total NH3 emissions from livestock and fertilizer applications in Japan and Korea were 27.8¡ß104 and 14.4¡ß104 tonnes NH3/y, respectively.
