Measurement of offensive fugitive odors has grown into a significant business component in the environmental sector spawning new innovative technology to address the problem. Drone based sampling devices have now been developed to measure odors above and around industrial facilities. There has been significant progress in measuring and quantifying and source identification of odors generating nuisance complaints from the public to the regulatory agencies. Landfills and Wastewater Treatment Plants pose many odor challenges Regulatory agencies are now able to identify facilities and plants responsible for odor generation and these facilities to deal with odor related problems. Property values of residential and commercial development are often impacted by the potential/existing/perceived odors coming from neighbouring plants and facilities. There is a significant incentive now to measure and mitigate fugitive offensive odors. As a result of economic pressures and technological developments in measuring and quantifying odors mitigation of offensive fugitive odors has also become a significant business component of the environmental sector spawning new technological developments. Management of is a challenge for all systems/plants dealing with organic waste streams. Current Odor Control Technology To date most of the new technology being developed is based on chemical breakdown of odors using UV, carbon, Ozone and biological filtration of odors.
