“…It should be noted that olfactory literature indicates that increasing age tends to reduce olfactory sensitivity, whilst the effect of gender on olfactory sensitivity depends on several factors including the study, odorant compound tested, and the test task performed (Bliss, Schulz, SENGER, & Kaye, 1996;James Evans, Cui, & Starr, 1995;Klimek, Gudziol, Owen, Pauli, & Hummel, 2000;Nguyen, Rumeau, Gallet, & Jankowski, 2016). To ensure any that age and gender factors were captured in the study, both female and male participants were selected over three age groups 1) under 30 years old, 2) 30 to 50 years old and 3) over 50 years old.…”

“…The above observation can be explained by residents' awareness, educational level, and dwelling type. Because differences of demographics and lifestyle may generate changes of reactions to environmental odors except at very high or very low concentrations [44,45]. It is possible that the respondents of area 1, due to being exposed to the odor perpetually, may have gotten used to it since long-term exposure of odors may lead to decrease the ability to detect them [46].…”

Landfills are mostly used to manage solid waste in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Due to inappropriate administration, there have been numerous issues over the years relating to odor and leachate. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of odor stemming from Da Phuoc landfill site on surrounding areas. A questionnaire survey was administered through face-to-face interviews with 409 residents living in the affected areas. The findings of this study indicate that the odor perception of residents significantly influences their attitudes towards waste disposal sites. The results show that odor affects not only the region around municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment facilities but regions more than 7 km away as well. The data indicates that the odor emanating from the MSW disposal site negatively affects the daily life of many residents. This study is an effort to finding a solution to reduce the impact of odor generated from the landfill site on nearby residential areas.

Odor Abatement in Wastewater Treatment Plants

Odorous emissions from sewer systems and wastewater treatment plants are produced generally by hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) and volatile or semi‐volatile organic compounds at very low concentrations; they are present in the liquid phase and are emitted into ambient air at the liquid‐gaseous interface (Frechen & Köster, 1998). These odours cause serious complaint in the vicinity of wastewater treatment plants. As a result odour control has become a key issue facing wastewater treatment plant management (Stuetz et al., 1999). Developments are under way to improve techniques for the assessment of odour and in the production of new technologies for destroying odour. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are often amenable to biological treatment through a variety of reactor formats. However, several other technologies exist that could be used in their treatment for the abatement of odour. The eventual choice of a technology largely depends on the efficiency of treatment and the capital and operating costs. The advent of the “triple bottom line” now considers sustainability of the technique also, although this philosophy is in its infancy. Biological treatment undoubtedly represent a sustainable green option, but it must also be proven to be economically viable and efficient.
