Piles of decomposing cow manure emit methane and nitrous oxide, in addition to polluting water and contaminating soil. Many of the most-polluted cities of South America are in Chile, and this is mainly because of the use of wood during the winter. Today, cow manure is a major climate and logistical problem on farms.
