![]() | Combination of field inspection and dispersion modelling to estimate odour emissions from an Italian landfill | In the case of landfills, the determination of odour emissions is particularly complex. Up to now, no universally Odour emission rate accepted methodology for sampling and assessing emissions from landfill surfaces has been established. Besides, Odour impact assessment the dependence of such emissions from some crucial environmental variables, such as wind speed, has not been univocally defined yet. In this study, odour dispersion modelling and plume inspections by human assessors were combined in order to estimate the odour emissions from a landfill in Southern Italy. | Measuring, Research | measuring research | |
![]() | A review of odour impact criteria in selected countries around the world | Exposure to environmental odour can result in annoyance, health effects and depreciation of property values.
