Abstract

This work presents results of odour concentration measurements performed by an olfactometric method in respect to industrial emissions, which are the source of offensive odour substances released into atmosphere. Moreover, this work also includes the measured odour concentrations at major sources of a wastewater treatment plant, as well as at heat and power plants. Related measurements were performed in the course of technological operations regarding fuel oil discharge and steam cleaning of railroad tank cars. Finally, this work introduces several approaches to further development of the odour regulation system in Russia. These approaches are based both on the foreign experience and the national sanitary regulation system regarding pollutant substances in ambient air of inhabited territories.
