Development and validating procedure of a formula to calculate a minimum separation distance from piggeries and poultry facilities to sensitive receptors

Abstract: A specific formula to calculate separation distance from piggeries and poultry facilities to sensitive receptor is developed for Walloon Region, in Belgium. The paper briefly presents the main principles of the formula and discusses more deeply the compatibility of the distance approach with odour units, odour rate and percentiles usually applied to assess the odour annoyance zones. A method of validation is presented and tested to adjust the different parameters of the formula to Belgian field reality. A tota… Show more

“…Some of these studies focus on the determination of the minimum separation distance between possible sources of malodors (agricultural enterprises, solid waste landfills, plants for treatment of waste, etc.) and residential areas (Nicolas et al ., ; Guo et al ., ; Schauberger et al, ). These works are very important for guidelines about land use planning.…”

“…It would be therefore convenient to normalize field assessment techniques at an international level. In this sense, the Sniffing Team Method or plume measurements such as those established by the German VDI 3940 could be more realistic to evaluate the impact of livestock odour sources, which are by nature variable and discontinuous in time (Nicolas et al, 2008).…”

“…Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Canada) have developed land use planning guidelines based on minimum separation distances between livestock units and residential areas. This setback distance is calculated considering four main factors, according to the following general equation (Nicolas et al, 2008):…”

“…However, the GCMS does not offer any practical information about the perception of the odorants, which is subjective and not generally related to their concentrations in a clear way [11]. For this reason, odors are commonly measured with a second method and third method but sensorial method is preferable at the source measurement since that method can give the emission value instead of concentration only and the absent of a variable odor background that may strongly Until now, the suitable types of odour assessment technology in Malaysia still cannot be found and at the same time, there is no odour regulation concerning the specific odour parameter stated in the Environmental Quality Act 1974.…”
