Proposal of Odor Nuisance Index as Urban Planning Tool

Chem Senses. 2017 Feb;42(2):105-110. doi: 10.1093/chemse/bjw103. Epub 2016 Oct 18.

Abstract

This article analyzes the state of the art of the methods and models used for the characterization of odor annoyance and it preliminary advances some proposals for the evaluation of the olfactory nuisance. The use of a sensorial technique, such as dynamic olfactometry, is proposed for the analysis of odor concentrations, odor emission rates, and odor dispersions. A simple model for the quantification of environmental odor nuisance, based on the use of FIDOL factors, that are, frequency, intensity, duration, hedonic tone, and location, is proposed.

Keywords: annoyance; impact assessment; location; nuisance; offensiveness.
