VVOCs and odor emissions were investigated by using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and olfactometry detection (GC-MS-O). The possible emission sources of VVOCs were clarified. The study of VVOCs and odor emissions was a novel exploration and had significant practical value. This paper can supplement a …Web

Quantifying odorous emissions and understanding the air stream's odor profile is an essential part of any odor management strategy and odor-control system design. It allows the designer to prioritize odorous compounds and select the optimal treatment technique. To accomplish these goals, samples of the emission must be collected and analyzed.Web

Exploring Characters of Odors. There are several parameters of odors we use to document and report our olfactory experiences. Odor thresholds ( ASTM E679 & EN13725) and perceived odor intensity (ASTM E544) receive the majority of attention as key objective methods to quantify odors. 1, 2, 3 The character of the odor, often referred …Web

Municipal facilities can generate odors caused by substances such as fatty acids, organosulfur compounds, aldehydes, and inorganic gases, especially H2S. Identifying an effective and cost-efficient solution to the problem is a priority for communities in areas at risk of exposure to odors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of advanced …Web

you notice any odor. Some people also experience "olfactory fatigue," which is a deadening of the sense of smell. This can happen soon after the first odor sensation occurs, especially if it is a very strong odor. People with olfactory fatigue become much less aware of the odor as time passes and in some cases have trouble detecting all odors.Web

Many VOCs have an odor. In certain circumstances, emissions of VOCs can give rise to localized odor nuisance problems, even if they are not hazardous to persons. The strength of a given compound's odor may be expressed by its odor threshold, that is, the concentration at which half the population couldWeb

The aim of Odor Impact Potential is not to replace parameters such as odor emission rates, odor concentration, or odor emission factors but to use those values to calculate the odor-derived impact in Life Cycle Assessment studies. ...

1. Introduction. Odor pollution, a serious environmental issue in regard to air quality has already aroused worldwide attention (Wimolrattanasil et al., 2018), as it can affect public amenities and the community's quality of life (Toledo et al., 2019).In recent years, odor pollution problems have been a significant fraction of the publicly initiated …Web

Cai et al. (2015) also indicated that the range of odor impacts of a specific landfill was influenced by the diffusion model, meteorological factors, and other factors, leading to the impact range being not a simple linear relation with the rate of odor emissions. Higher atmospheric stability means that the turbulence is suppressed, …Web

This is, of course, exactly what has been observed in studies comparing ratings of sweetness alone versus multiple attribute ratings of odor–taste pairs (Frank et al., 1991, 1993). In these latter studies, rating odor–taste mixtures for sweetness only has been sufficient to demonstrate sweetness enhancement with sweet-smelling odors.Web

Sulfur dioxide is the only regulated air pollutant with a strong, pungent odor. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA must control 187 hazardous air pollutants, also known as toxic air pollutants or air toxics. EPA controls those chemicals for their toxicity, not for their odor. EPA requires them to be controlled at the source that generates the emissions.Web

The emission from STDW in SDS differed from that of SDN. The dry tail gas by SDS produced greater emissions at higher temperature.
