“…These results are consistent with previous studies, which have shown that toluene is the predominant pollutant from the printing and dyeing industries(Borbon et al 2002;Mayo 1961;Seila et al 2001). Similar with Ravina, found that benzene and bromodichloromethane are the primary pollutants in sewage treatment plant(Ravina et al 2020). These ndings demonstrate the stability and reliability of our instrument for emergency monitoring Rappenglück et al 1999)…”

Over the past few decades, the issue of atmospheric volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has garnered escalating global concern. Given that VOCs constitute significant pollutants and pivotal ozone (O3) precursors in both urban and industrial regions, delineating and quantifying their sources of emission stands as a fundamental requirement for devising and executing environmental control strategies. A mobile laboratory vehicle, equipped with a single photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (SPI-TOFMS) and a navigation system, was employed to tag the traceability of VOCs that contribute to O3 formation in Suzhou industrial park. The method exhibited a good method detection limit of 0.29 µgm-3, a mass resolution of the instrument was1500, and a correlation coefficient of 0.994. A positive matrix factorization (PMF) model was used for the VOCs source appointment. Three primary VOC source profiles were discerned: vehicular emissions, an industrial solvent, and biofuel combustion. These sources were recognized as the principal contributors to the pollution in the Suzhou. The successful utilization of SPI-TOFMS demonstrated a promising technique viable for conducting real-time and online monitoring of atmospheric VOCs. Moreover, an identification library of VOCs fingerprints from the same plant was established. This library serves as a precise point of reference for on-site VOC traceability, source apportionment estimation, and assessment of their contribution to ozone formation.

“…The Odour Activity Value (OAV), also called sensory stimulation strength of single-compound is defi ned as the ratio of a specifi c odorant concentration (C i ) to its odour threshold (OT i ) value (Ravina et al 2020, Yang et al 2015. For hydrogen sulphide and DMS OTs equal respectively 0.0081 ppm and 0.001 ppm (Wiśniewska et al 2019).…”

Biogas plants processing municipal waste are very important investments from the point of view of waste management and also the sustainable development of urban infrastructures. They may also have a potentially negative impact on the environment in the form of odour emission. Olfactometry is the main method for odour impact assessment. Field olfactometry allows for performing a wide range of tests, the results of which are practically instantaneous. The purpose of this work is to provide a tool for assessing the odour impacts of municipal management facilities, including biogas plants processing municipal waste and evaluating the correctness of processes carried out in these plants, namely the method of fi eld olfactometry. In order to compare obtained olfactometric results with the concentration of chemical compounds, chromatographic tests were also carried out using the Photovac Voyager portable chromatograph (hydrogen sulphide -H 2 S and dimethyl sulphide -(CH 3 ) 2 S. The results of the odour concentration tests are in line with the results of odorant concentration tests and indicate that c od is strongly related to the concentration of hydrogen sulphide. Thanks to this method, it is possible to fi nd a relationship between odour nuisance, technological processes used in the plant and the type of treated waste.

“…In most cases, the dispersion models of odours (e.g., AERMOD, Calpuff, etc.) can provide information on civil and residential buildings, which could suffer from the odour impact, through the analysis of emission rates [43][44][45].…”

The potential of citizen science to address complex issues has been recognized since the 1990s. However, the systematic integration of public opinion in research has been developed only recently, thanks to the spread of questionnaire web-based surveys and artificial intelligence techniques for data elaboration. Starting from this point, we decided to investigate the literature published in Scopus during the decade 2013–2023, regarding citizen science applications for environmental purposes. More specifically, the focus of our study was to evaluate citizen science’s benefits and limitations for managing odour emissions in national industrial plants, as well as to discuss the potential integration of a participatory approach in such a field. In fact, according to European Directive 2010/75/EU, the integrated environmental permits released to reduce industrial pollution should also encourage strong public participation. In this systematic review we first applied the principles of PRISMA methodology to select the most significant papers. Then, we discuss the results of 14 publications, through bibliometric statistics and meta-analysis. Only three of them were discovered to have a specific focus on odour emissions. Overall, we pinpointed the main advantages and limitations of citizen science applied to odour pollution management, to open the door for further research.
