Odour annoyance in urban contexts is of particular concerns and requires effective monitoring in order to avoid complaints from citizens. The research presents an advanced and integrated odour monitoring system, which combines analytical, senso-instrumental and citizen science tools, for the continuous and proactive characterization of the odours in ambient air to prevent odour annoyance. The… Continue reading Urban odour annoyance management: An advanced embedded system for real-time monitoring enhanced by citizen science
Odour emissions generated by industrial and environmental protection plants are often a cause of nuisances and consequent conflicts in exposed populations. Their control is a key action to avoid complaints. Among the odour measurement techniques, the sensory-instrumental method with the application of Instrumental Odour Monitoring Systems (IOMSs) currently represents an effective solution to allow a… Continue reading Optimization of classification prediction performances of an instrumental odour monitoring system by using temperature correction approach
Prolonged exposure to odour emissions causes annoyance which leads to nuisance and consequently to complaints. Different methodologies exist in the literature to evaluate odour impacts, but not all are suitable to assess environmental odour nuisance. Information about their applicability criteria and comparison, is scarce and referred to short time analysis. The research presents and discusses… Continue reading Environmental odour nuisance assessment in urbanized area: Analysis and comparison of different and integrated approaches
Odour emissions from industrial plants affect air quality and are consequently cause of a growing number of public complaints. The control of odour represents a key issue in plant management. The starting point for an effective odour control is their objective measurement. The electronic nose represents probably the odour monitoring technique with the greatest potential,… Continue reading Environmental odour monitoring by electronic nose
