Abstract
The field of environment odor assessment involves evaluating odors in ambient air , focussing primarily on offensive odors. Olfactometry is an indispensable tool used in this field to assess odors and establish their concentration at the source. This area of application incorporates regulated methods for sampling and measurement, and includes field inspections that aim to evaluate odors at or in close proximity to the problematic neighborhood. The human sense of smell is the primary tool for such analyses, representing an ideal proxy for the local population affected by the offending odor.
