This study investigated impact of odors from industrial areas using the FIDOL concept. The studied region was the Seobu industrial complex in Korea. The USEPA dispersion model, AERMOD, was used to calculate odor concentration. The results show that the size of the impact areas of lower regulation compliance frequency is smaller than that of the areas of higher regulation compliance frequency. The results also showed that increasing the concentration of odor unit (OU) decreased the size of the impact area and the maximum impact distance. Calculated odor impact area, using Massachusetts (USA) regulations, had the smallest impact area among selected locations such as Massachusetts (USA), New Zealand, Denmark, and the Netherlands. Denmark’s regulations had the largest impact area.

In this study, Complex odor was measured by direct sensory method on site. Air samples of the fish factories were sampled with polyester aluminum bag and were analyzed by GC/FID/O and GC/MS. The feature of the complex odor was fishy, boild fish paste and dried slices of file fish. The odor active compounds of individual odor which chotribute these smell were mainly Hydrogen sulfide, Heptanal, 1-Hexanal, 2-Heptanal, TMA. Also contribution level of The designated malodor materials were higher than other industrial complex.

The objectives of this study were to analyze the characteristics of odor in the major facilities of a fishery industrial complex using the air dilution olfactory method and the instrumental analysis method. The results indicate that although the limit of dilution to threshold (D/T) ratio in the major facilities is not regulated by the Odor Emission Standard, the mean (D/T) ratio over than 3,000 which is higher than the limit in the outlet of industrial area 3 times was found at three sampling sites. In the case of the concentration of the malodorous compounds, ammonia concentration is higher than any other odor compounds. The methyl mercaptan, n-Butyric acid and hydrogen sulfide as the main pollutants are confirmed by the odor quotient (OQ). In our study, it is showed a moderately good correlation between the (D/T) ratio and the sum of OQ. By this result, we can estimate the odor characteristics and evaluate the potential impact of each odor compound. In addition, we consider that it will affect the people"s normal life and even cause for complaint around the boundary area by the diffusion of odor.

The purpose of this study was to obtain the basic data needed to identify the impact of the odor, emitted from the Ochang Scientific Industrial Complex area on the surrounding residential areas by measuring and confirming odor compounds. The analysis showed that complex odors were diluted from around 4 to 1. The offensive odor measurement results showed that among the sites, site 1 was highest in sulfur compounds, site 2 was highest in toluene, site 3 was highest in trimethylamine, and site 4 was highest in buthylaldehyde. It cannot be decided to be odor-causing compounds for higher odor concentration because each odor substance has a different odor threshold value. According to the odor contribution analysis for each site, site 1, site 2, and site 4 contained high buthylaldehyde concentrations, and site 3 had a high level of trimethylamine. It could be determined that highly evaluated substances were main causes to result in substance for each site.

The objective of this work was to treat complex mal-odor of food waste with micro-bubbles from enhanced wet scrubber system, where the pilot plant was operated. Micro bubbles from the enhanced reactor of venturi scrubber were successfully generated through the air atomizing process with high velocity more than 60 m/sec and played an important role in the removal of mal-odor. Mal-odor was effectively changed into the micro-bubble and treated with washing chemicals together. Through establishing two series connection of the reactors, 85.2 % removal efficiency of complex mal-odor was obtained in case of average 940 times of input air. 0.35 kg/hr of sulfuric acid, 0.188 kg/hr of sodium hydroxide and 0.043 kg/hr of hypochlorite were injected for chemical washing.

5 public complaint areas against odor in Changwon Industrial Complex were selected and investigated to clear up the cause of the complaint. 16 companies operated in public complaint areas were visited and had a grip of their situation about odor generation and treatment. Two samples at it's site boundary of each company were taken to measure complex odor unit. Complex odor unit at the site boundary of investigated companies in the public complaint areas, for the most part, exceeded standard(odor unit 20) in industrial area. It was due to that this area was not designated as odor control region and that there are also many problems in current laws of Odor Protection Act, Air Quality Act and regional legislation. Accordingly, It will be necessary to revise the related legislation, to organize governance, to financially support the improvement of environmental facilities and to enforce guidance and the regulation rigidly for the odor emission reduction in Changwon Industrial Complex.

As a typical example of simultaneous analysis of the odorous compounds, the volatile organic compounds from inventory sources in Seongseo industrial area were concentrated and analyzed with thermal desorber/GC/ MSD, and major malodorous compounds were estimated. Odor intensity and odor concentration was analyzed simultaneously During a period from November in 2002 to December in 2003, this study was conducted to evaluate malodor emission characterization in major treatment facilities. The major components were Dimethyl sulfide, Dimethyl disulfide, Methyl mercaptane, Ammonia, Benzene, Toluene, m,p-xylene, o-xylene, Styrene, 1,2,4- T.M.B and 1,3,5-T.M.B. Among the six major inventory sources, the odor unit concentration of Night-soil disposal facilities was the highest, 669～2344 ou/m3.
