Application of factor and cluster analyses to determine source–receptor relationships of industrial volatile organic odor species in a dual-optical sensing system
Abstract:Abstract. Most odor nuisance investigations rely on either human
olfactory examination or on-site sampling and analytical techniques, but
these methods are often subject to spatial and temporal limitations and thus
impractical for locating odor emission sources. This study developed an
alternative approach with a dual-optical sensing system, a meteorological
station, and the combination of factor and cluster analyses to identify and
characterize emission sources of multiple air contaminants. Factor and
cluster… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
