Proposition of control method for odor pollution in the future

Abstract

It has been over 40 years since the enactment of the Offensive Odor Control Law. The regulation methods by measuring the offensive odor chemicals and the odor index with sensory method have been enforced so far. These concentration regulation methods have many advantages, but have some disadvantages, too. The present regulation methods are not always the best ones. Thus, it is highly important to examine new methods by management standards, structure standards and operation standards thoroughly.
