The Impact of Cotton Production on Air Quality The Impact of Cotton Production on Air Quality

  • The production of cotton, when compared with petroleum based fibers, actually reduces greenhouse gases because cotton fibers are over 40% carbon, are built from carbon dioxide (94%) and are energy positive.
  • Reduced tillage practices now in place reduce dust emissions from the field.
  • Many air quality controls are in place at the cotton gin.
