We report atmosphere atmospheric liquid data collected from sites forthcoming Princess Anne, Somerset County, and near Pocomoke City, Worcester County, on the Lower Eastern Shore (LES) of Maryland. Concerns about meteorological ammonia have currently been emphasize by people on the LES, which runs betwixt the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean on the Delmarva peninsula. Agriculture, fisheries, and travel account for a solid portion of the LES's economic activities. According to the USDA's 2017 enumeration, there were 100 Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) in Somerset and Worcester Counties, lifting roughly 63 heap chickens every year. CAFO activities hold 1.6 heap birds inside a two-5 radius of the Worcester County position. The Princess Anne site is analogous to the Pocomoke City site in terms of land use and population head count, however skilled are only a few chicken apartments within two 5. The initial 33 months of LES liquid data are provided, and their pertinence is addressed concerning other liquid investigations. The 33-period average ammonia concentration in Pocomoke was 10.3 ± 0.08 ppb, in addition to double that of Princess Anne, which was 4.7 ± 0.04 ppb.
