Statistical prediction models for the odour emissions quantification in terms of odour concentration: Analysis and comparison
(Corresponding) Galang M., Ballesteros Jr. F., Zarra T., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Measuring odour concentration is a significant step to achieve efficient environmental odour management in continuous, objective and repeatable manner. To deal with this, researchers developed instrumental odour monitoring systems (IOMS) by applying odour monitoring models (OMM) for prediction. At...Read more
ADVANCED INSTRUMENTAL ODOUR MONITORING SYSTEM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ODOUR CONTINUOUS MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL IN COMPLEX INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
(Corresponding) Meloni M., Zarra T., Pittoni G., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odour emissions from complex industrial plants can cause potential impacts on the surrounding areas and, as consequence, complaints with the local residents. The identification of specific Odour control plan is therefore needed in the plant management. The current challenge is the definition of...Read more

Comparison of sensory odour intensity scales for inexperienced assessors
(Corresponding) Higuchi T., Sekine M., Imai T.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odours discharged from various human activities may cause severe damage to local residents. For appropriate evaluation of environmental odours, it is necessary to develop a reliable odour measurement scale. Since environmental odours consist of many different odorous compounds, comprehensive...Read more

Radiation-induced degradation products of 2-methyl isoborneol and geosmin: the role of different reactive species
CHRISTOPHORIDIS C., PESTANA C., LAWTON L., (Corresponding) HISKIA A.
Topic:
Water treatment
Gamma radiolysis can serve as an effective method for the degradation of organic water pollutants, due to the production of reactive species, oxidative (OH•, OOH•, O2•-) or reductive (eaq-, H•). The application of scavengers enables the selective production of these species. Our aim was to explore...Read more
Co-creating data based on human nose perceptions to study odour nuisance from an oilseed industry
(Corresponding) Teixeira S., Pereira P., Ferreira F.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
Odour nuisance is the second environmental problem with more citizen complaints after noise. This fact and the lack of odour regulation in Portugal led way to develop a bottom-up approach focused on citizens to co-create the analysis. Despite the existence of odour measuring instruments, the human...Read more
Odours emitted from industrial and environmental protection plants have been included among atmospheric pollutants as they are cause of annoyance for the exposed residents. The control of the odour emissions is therefore a key aspect to pursue. The research presents and discusses the development of...Read more

Sustainable treatment of air pollutants by moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) coupled with algae photobioreactor (APBR)
Pahunang R., (Corresponding) Zarra T., Oliva G., Senatore V., Belgiorno V., Ballesteros F., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Environmental odour, monitoring and control
The presence of high concentrations of VOCs in the atmosphere can lead to negative consequences for humans and the environment. The treatment of these compounds is thus necessary before their release into the atmosphere. In the study, an advanced moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) coupled with an...Read more
