“…Odour Emission Factors (OEFs) are useful tools as they are not only descriptive indicators but also predictive, in agreement with the research performed in an environmental field that brought about the development of OEFs for different kinds of industrial plants such as: wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), Municipal Solid Waste Management Plant (MSWMP), animal rendering plants, and landfills [70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77]. …”

Indoor air quality influences people’s lives, potentially affecting their health and comfort. Nowadays, ventilation is the only technique commonly used for regulating indoor air quality. CO2 is the reference species considered in order to calculate the air exchange rates of indoor environments. Indeed, regarding air quality, the presence of pleasant or unpleasant odours can strongly influence the environmental comfort. In this paper, a case study of indoor air quality monitoring is reported. The indoor field tests were conducted measuring both CO2 concentration, using a photoacoustic multi-gas analyzer, and odour trends, using an electronic nose, in order to analyze and compare the information acquired. The indoor air monitoring campaign was run for a period of 20 working days into a university room. The work was focused on the determination of both CO2 and odour emission factors (OEF) emitted by the human activity and on the evaluation of the odour impact in a naturally ventilated room. The results highlighted that an air monitoring and recycling system based only on CO2 concentration and temperature measurements might be insufficient to ensure a good indoor air quality, whereas its performances could be improved by integrating the existing systems with an electronic nose for odour detection.

“…The difference between odor concentrations in the samples obtained through both Lindvall and static chambers from the present studies are summarized in Table 4. Lucernoni et al (2017) compared the odor emission rates achieved by wind tunnel and flux chamber and reported that measurements carried out with wind tunnel gave emission value of 248,050 ou E /sec, whereas with flux chamber it was 6150 ou E /sec. Parker et al (2013) compared the sampling methods of collecting the following five compounds from the surface source: phenol, 4-methylphenol, 4-ethylphenol, indole, and skatole.…”

Several researchers wrote that there are no widely accepted chamber-based methods. Also, there is still a need for standardization to ensure full comparability of these methods. The present study compared the existing methods to improve the standardization of area source sampling. The practical usefulness of the results was proving that both examined chambers can be used interchangeably. Statistically similar results were achieved while odor concentration was below 60 ou/m and wind speed inside the Lindvall chamber was below 0.2 m/sec. Increasing wind speed over these values results in differences between these methods. A model function of relationship between wind speed and odor concentration value was determined.

“…Emission of odorous gases from mixed land use patterns along with landfill in the cities have resulted in nuisance and other problems associated with the setting up of waste treatment facilities in and around cities as studied and documented [2]; [13]; [15]; [19]; [21]; [22]; [26]; [27]; [32]; [34]; [35]; [37]. Odour can be expressed as the "perception of smell" or in scientific terms, "a sensation resulting from the reception of stimulus by the olfactory sensory system" [12].…”

Landfills contain vast quantities of waste as they are sites for deposition of a city's solid waste. This solid waste further undergoes the process of decomposition producing several byproducts such as odorous gases and volatile organic compounds. Both of these compounds have potential to severely damage physical and mental health of human. These components were analysed using AERMOD by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). AERMOD needs uniform and horizontally consistent surface and upper air parameters of meteorology. Along with AERMOD, Landfill Gas Emission Model (LandGEM Version 3.02) was used to form an emission inventory. LandGEM analyses odorous gases and VOCs. The dispersion of odorous gases over areas adjacent to landfill of Pune, India has been estimated from information on advances in emission inventory and field monitoring operation. Four odorous gases namely Total Landfill gas, Methane, Carbon Dioxide and Non Methane Organic Compounds (NMOC) were detected at 17 discrete places and were found within permissible limits.
