“…In 2019, Romanik et al [29] presented a comparative analysis, based on the combination of dynamic olfactometry and dispersion modelling, of the emission scenario relevant to an industrial activity before and after the installation of abatement equipment. The results obtained satisfied the twofold purpose of the study of proposing an experimental procedure to assess the odor impact at the sensible receptors and to evaluate the effectiveness of the technical intervention in the reduction of odorous emissions.…”

In recent years, citizens' attention towards air quality and pollution has increased significantly, and nowadays, odor pollution related to different industrial activities is recognized as a well-known environmental issue. For this reason, odors are subjected to control and regulation in many countries, and specific methods for odor measurement have been developed and standardized over the years. This paper, conceived within the H2020 D-NOSES project, summarizes odor measurement techniques, highlighting their applicability, advantages, and limits, with the aim of providing experienced as well as non-experienced users a useful tool that can be consulted in the management of specific odor problems for evaluating and identifying the most suitable approach. The paper also presents relevant examples of the application of the different methods discussed, thereby mainly referring to scientific articles published over the last 10 years.Atmosphere 2020, 11, 92 2 of 27 •Citizen science.Dynamic olfactometry and field inspection are the only methods specifically developed for odor measurement, which have been standardized at the European level [5][6][7].Other techniques, involving chemical characterization, are consolidated analytical techniques, commonly adopted to provide information about the odor properties of gaseous mixtures.Conversely, methods based on citizen science are quite new. Those techniques, based on the active involvement of citizens, have been proposed in recent years to address socio-environmental conflicts within the impacted communities [8,9]. In particular, these programs consist of the active involvement of citizens in the mapping and management of odor pollution problems, thereby allowing co-creation of local solutions together with industries, regional and local authorities, and odor experts [10,11]. With the aim to develop such innovative approaches based on so-called "extreme citizen science", in 2018, the Distributed Network for Odor Sensing, Empowerment, and Sustainability (D-NOSES) project was presented and has received funding from the European's Union Horizon 2020 Science with and for Society Call (SwafS) under grant agreement No. 789315. This project proposes a holistic approach, based on the cooperation of key stakeholders (citizens, regional and local authorities, industries, and odor experts) for the mapping and co-design of solutions, to researching, building, and suggesting an appropriate regulatory framework. Recognizing the lack of information about odor pollution and management as a limit for the successful adoption of citizen science for the management of odor problems, this review paper was conceived within the H2020 D-NOSES project with the purpose of raising awareness about odor pollution and providing a scientific background concerning odor impact assessment methods, which can be used by experienced as well as non-experienced users.This paper presents an overview of the methods that can be used for odor measurement, thereby excluding odor impact assessment techniques based on mat...

“…where S xyz -the concentration of the substance in the air averaged for one hour (µg/m 3 ); E g -maximum emission of gaseous substance (mg/s); σ y -horizontal atmospheric diffusion coefficient (m); σ z -vertical atmospheric diffusion coefficient (m); u-average wind velocity in the layer from the geometric height of the emitter h to the effective height of the emitter H (m/s); y-component of the distance of the emitter from the point for which calculations are made perpendicular to the wind direction (m); z-the height at which the concentration of the substance in the air is calculated (m). The model mentioned above was used, among others, for the assessment of the odour impact of a waste management plant [14], the assessment of the odour impact of a waste composting plant located at the waste management plant [21], the odour assessment of an industrial facility [22], and the odour impact assessment of a sewage treatment plant [19]. Therefore, it was used to assess the olfactory impact of the farm site under study.…”

“…This project indicated, among others, that the value of the comparative level of the permissible concentration of odours in the air equals 1 ou E /m 3 or the value of the permissible frequency of exceeding the permissible level of 1 ou E /m 3 equals 3% per year. These values are often used in the literature related to the determination of the odour impact of various objects [14,19,21,22]. These values may differ between individual countries depending on the solutions adopted [23].…”

Within the research, on the premises of an agricultural plant, the odour concentration was measured, and the odour emission was determined. The obtained values allowed us to analyse the odour distribution using the Polish reference mathematical model for four different scenarios, including (1) all identified emission sources, i.e., point and surface: scenarios 1 and 2, and (2) only point sources, scenario 3 and 4. The values of the comparative level and the frequency of exceedances in scenarios 1 and 3 were based on the Polish draft act on counteracting odour nuisance, while the Dutch guidelines were used for scenarios 2 and 4. Model calculations showed the potential impact of the tested structure on adjacent residential areas, i.e., in scenarios 1 and 2, the permissible value of the frequency of exceedances was exceeded at all points representing residential buildings. The exceedances for scenario 3 and 4 took place in seven out of eight and two out of eight points, respectively. The results indicated that to accurately and reliably assess the odour impact and to determine the measures to prevent and reduce odour emissions, it is necessary to consider all types of emission sources in the facilities potentially causing odour nuisance.
