Morphology and surface area analysis indicated that the activated rice hull biochar-manure compost pellet (ARP) had a significantly lower surface area, porous volume, and Fe content the activated palm biochar-manure compost pellet (APP). However, the ARP presented great potential to mitigate VOCs and odorant emissions. Our results indicated that the ARP reduced total reduced sulfur (TRS) and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) emissions by 69% and 93%, respectively. Heavy metals such as Pb, As, and Cd were not detected in the leachates fromthe ARP, APP, and swine manure compost. These results suggest that ABMCP can be a potential adsorbent to control VOCs and odorant emissions andpromote sustainable swine manure management and agricultural application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191912405","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,29]],"date-time":"2022-09-29T21:03:10Z","timestamp":1664485390000},"page":"12405","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluation of the Impact of Activated Biochar-Manure Compost Pellet Fertilizer on Volatile Organic Compound Emissions and Heavy Metal Saturation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Minsoo","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Engineering, University of Seoul, Seoul 02504, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7181-6750","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changyoon","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Red River Research Station, Agricultural Center, Louisiana State University, 262 Research Station Driver, Bossier City, LA 7112, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Minjeong","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Organic Agriculture Division, National Institute of Agricultural Science, Wanjugun 55365, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joohee","family":"Nam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eco-Friendly Environment & Microorganism Research Institute, Gyeonggi-Do Agricultural Research & Extension Services, Wanjugun 55365, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Changki","family":"Shim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eco-Friendly Environment & Microorganism Research Institute, Gyeonggi-Do Agricultural Research & Extension Services, Wanjugun 55365, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joungdu","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bio-Technology of Multidisciplinary Sciences, Co., 204 Ho JBTP R&D Center, 224 Wanjusan 6 Ro, Bondonggeup, Wanjugun  55315, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"31","article-title":"Nutrient Composition and Heavy Metal Contents of Matured Livestock Liquid Fertilizer in Korea","volume":"25","author":"Kang","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
