CAFOs can pose many risks to the health of communities and the environment
Air quality
CAFOs can release fumes and particulate matter that can increase the risk of asthma, bronchitis, and lung disease in nearby residents. They can also contain high levels of endotoxins associated with respiratory inflammation.
Water quality
CAFO manure can contain over 150 pathogens that can contaminate water supplies. Nitrates from the manure can also poison drinking water sources and contribute to dead zones in aquatic habitats.
Health of workers
CAFO workers are at risk of adverse health effects, including asthma, chronic bronchitis, and occupational injuries and illnesses.
Health of nearby residents
Residents may be at increased risk of respiratory illnesses, neurobehavioral symptoms, and exposure to food-borne pathogens. CAFO waste can also cause a dangerous medical condition called “blue-baby syndrome” in infants, which can prevent them from getting enough oxygen.
Other risks
CAFOs can also cause odor and noise problems, damage local roads, and change land use.

What is CAFOs?
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are agricultural meat, dairy, or egg facilities where animals are kept and raised in confinement. Instead of grazing or eating in pastures, fields, or on range lands, animals are given food.
In CAFOs, animals, feed, waste, and production operations are all confined to a small area of land. In 2012, the Environmental Protection Agency reported that CAFOs made up about 15% of the total animal feeding operations in the United States.
If you live near a CAFOs feeding site, you may be entitled to compensation.
Research warns of health risks related to CAFOs
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are more than 21,000 Large CAFOs across the United States. Each of these facilities confines hundreds or thousands of animals — at least 700 mature dairy cows, for example, or 2,500 pigs weighing 55 pounds or more. Many Large CAFOs substantially exceed these size thresholds — for example, the median Large dairy cow CAFO confines 1,200 cows, while the median Large swine CAFO confines 4,588 pigs — and they all generate staggering quantities of waste.
summarized decades of scientific research showing that CAFOs — and Large CAFOs, in particular — routinely and predictably discharge water pollution, including nitrogen, phosphorus, disease-causing pathogens, and pharmaceuticals.
Exposure to CAFO pollution
Exposure to CAFO pollution in drinking water can cause birth defects and the potentially fatal blood condition methemoglobinemia, or “blue baby syndrome,” in infants under six months of age. It also can increase risks for hyperthyroidism, insulin-dependent diabetes, bladder cancer, and ovarian cancer.
