Analytical techniques for odour assessment. MARDI Report No. 217 (2015).
Abstract
Assessing odour impacts of primary industries and establishing regulatory standards have been a foremost challenge to authorities due to lack of knowledge regarding odour concentration and rate of emission. Selection of an accurate, scientifically defined and proven technique with high repeatability is essential to fulfil the needs of solving odour nuisance complains and regulatory requirements. While equipment is available for the detection and quantification of selected indicator odorous gases, they do not provide complete data on odour since it is made up of more than a hundred gases. Odour measurement units that are legally acceptable must take into consideration the detection by the human nose since it is the humans that detect an odour that can be a discomfort or even health-threatening. An ideal detection method would be to combine both sensory and instrumental measurements that are usable for establishing odour units and thus regulatory requirements. This paper reviews the basic concepts of odour assessment and the range of technologies available to evaluate odour emissions from agricultural activities.
