Sensory analyses are one of the most frequently used odour research methods that allow establishing the most important odour characteristics, i.e. odour concentration and odour intensity, characterised by a high degree of interrelationship. During an11-month study odour concentration and intensity were measured at selected mechanical-biological solid municipal waste treatment plant at 35 measuring locations to… Continue reading Sensorial techniques of odour measurements – a relationship between odour concentration and odour intensity for a selected waste management facility
Environmental obligations of scientists, engineers and members of the research community have evolved further than the quantifiable control of emissions and waste of production. The environmental consciousness of communities as well as individual responsibility for the development of sustainable waste management strategies increased in demand, from urban planners and stakeholders to industries and business model developers. Despite… Continue reading Factors affecting social attitude and behavior for the transition towards a circular economy
Odor management plans indicate the need to identify odor sources in waste management facilities. Finding the right tool for this type of task is a key element. This article covers a new approach for odor quantification and source identification at a selected waste management facility by coupling field olfactometry and the spatial interpolation method, such… Continue reading The Use of Field Olfactometry in the Odor Assessment of a Selected Mechanical–Biological Municipal Waste Treatment Plant within the Boundaries of the Selected Facility—A Case Study
