Odour sampling system with remote triggering: feedback from a Belgian experience

An automatic odour sampling system can be activated remotely to collect samples when an odour event is perceived. Activation of sampling can be done by a neighbour when he smells an odour but also by an environmental agency, a laboratory or local authorities. Another approach is instrumental triggering for instance by a chemical analyser, an instrumental odour monitoring system (e-nose) or even simply by a wind vane. Remote odour sampling is particularly useful in ambient air at the receptor site and at the fenceline when emissions and perceptions are not continuous. It is ideal for cases of s... Mehr ...
