Emission characteristics of major offensive odorants were investigated using odor samples collected from two urban stormwater catch basins with highly contrasting environmental conditions. A total of 6 major offensive odorants ($H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, DMDS, $CH_3CHO$ (AA), and $NH_3$) were measured. For this comparative analysis, odor intensity (OI) of all odorants was derived from their concentration data via empirical equations introduced by Nagata. Both the absolute magnitude of odorant concentrations and their OI values were used concurrently to evaluate the occurrence pattern of each individual odorant. According to our analysis, RSCs including $CH_3SH$, $H_2S$, and DMS tend to exhibit the highest odor strengths among all 6 compounds investigated. The overall results of our study suggest that the emissions of major offensive odorants from urban stormwater catch brains can be explained at least partially by the temporal trend of human activity.

The present study was aimed for the fetor in the livestock facilities. Simple detection systems for ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were examined to see the mechanism making the discoloration length of malodorous substance concentration. Detector tube for ammonia showed a good linearity of 99.6% while hydrogen sulfide detector tube gave 99.7% linearity with reproductivity of 95%.

The simultaneous analysis of the odorous compounds designated by law in Korea and Japan was examined with the thermal desorber gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using one column. The approximate concentrations of trimethyl amine, acetaldehyde, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide were estimated. Styrene, dimethyl disulfide, propionaldehyde, n-butyl aldehyde, i-butyl aldehyde, n-valeraldehyde, i-valeraldehyde, ethyl acetate, toluene, xylene, methyl i-butyl ketone and i-butanol were detected at concentrations of the detection limits of their threshold values. As a typical example of simultaneous analysis of the odorous compounds, the volatile organic compounds emitted from compost procedure of food waste were concentrated and analyzed with thermal desorber/GC/MSD, and major malodorous compounds were estimated from the concentrations and threshold values of the detected components. From the result of analysis, 34 compounds were confirmed and among them, trimethyl amine, i-valeraldehyde, methyl mercaptan, methyl allyl sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, acetaldehyde, ethanol, n-butyaldehyde were expected to attribute to the odor in order of strength.

대기중의 유해 유기오염물질의 배출농도를 규제하는 법규와 표준지침이 제정되어 있으나 시료채취와 분석까지 시간이 많이 걸려 빠른시간내 확인하기엔 어려운 실정이다. 특히 악취성 휘발성 유기물은 오염발생이 순간적으로 일어나 이를 신속하게 규명하지 않으면 원인 규명이 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이동형 FT-IR을 사용하여 대기중에 존재하는 유해 유기오염물질의 신속하게 분석할 수 있는 분석법을 확립하고자 하였다. (중략)

Olfactometer를 이용한 악취평가방법은 1986년 미국에서 표준방법(ASTM)으로 인정된 후 유럽 공동체(prEN 13725), 독일(VDI), 네덜란드(NVN2820) 등 여러나라에서 표준방법으로 다양하게 활용되고 있다. Olfactometer의 개발은 초기에 가축사육시설 부근의 냄새 유발에 따른 냄새의 정량화와 냄새 제어를 목적으로 발전하였으나, 근래에는 공업화와 산업화에 따른 산단지역에서의 냄새 배출원평가와 관리 및 부지경계에서의 냄새 농도평가의 필요성에 따라 많은 개발과 발전을 이루어왔다. (중략)

차량의 증가와 각종 산업분야에서의 유기용제 사용에 따른 VOC 물질의 증가는 발암성과 관련된 환경보건 및 오존의 전구물질 등 기타 복잡한 대기화학과도 긴밀하게 연루되어 있다. 또한, VOC는 공단지역에서 지역주민에게 악취를 유발시키는 있어 악취와 건강보건에 있어서 집중적인 관리가 요구된다고 하겠다.(중략)

Offensive odor is recognized as a social environmental problem due to its olfactory effects. Ammonia(NH₃), hydrogen sulfide(H₂S) and benzene(C₆H₆) are produced from various petrochemical plants, public sewage treatment plants, public livestock wastes, and food waste disposal facilities in large quantities. Therefore efficient decomposition of offensive odor is needed. In this study, the removal efficiency of atmospheric-pressure plasma operating at an ambient condition was investigated by evaluating the concentrations at upflow and downflow between the plasma reactor. The decomposition of offensive odor using plasma is based on the mechanism of photochemical oxidation of offensive odor using free radical and ozone(O₃) generated when discharging plasma, which enables the decomposition of offensive odor at ordinary temperature and has the advantage of no secondary pollutants. As a result, all three odor substances were completely decontaminated within 1 minute as soon as discharging the plasma up to 500 W. This result confirms that high concentration odors or mixed odor materials can be reduced using atmospheric-pressure plasma.

This study was executed to elucidate the degree of satisfaction with working environment and the factors affecting it for workers who are engaged in the composting plants with livestock manure in the Han-river watershed. As an evaluation on site, we applied the self-administered questionaire including general characteristics, working conditions, degree of satisfaction with working environment, and degree of satisfaction with working condition. Simultaneously, we analysed the exposure levels of odor (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and odor intensity) in the boundary area of plants. As a result of the study, health condition, odor, work load, dust, and smoking were proved to be the main factors affecting the degree of satisfaction with working environment for workers who are employed in the composting plants with livestock manure in the Han-river watershed. Of them, it was investigated that health condition, odor, and work load accounted for 61.3% of the total degree of satisfaction with working environment and health condition(p$<$0.01), odor(p$<$0.05), work load(p$<$0.05), and dust(p$<$0.05) were statistically significant. It was concluded that the degree of satisfaction with working environment was high for the workers who had good health status and low for the workers who had the relatively considerable work load and were often exposed to odor and dust. Therefore, to increase the degree of satisfaction with working environment for workers who are engaged in the composting plants with livestock manure, the measures that can reduce the exposure levels of odor and dust emitting from the composting plant with livestock manure should be improved.

퇴비화는 유기물질이 분해되는 조건에 따라 호기성 퇴비화(Aerobic composting)와 혐기성 퇴비화(Anaerobic composting)로 대별된다. 음식물쓰레기 퇴비화 시설의 주요공정은 선별시설, 혼합 및 발효시설, 불순물제거장치, 숙성시설, 악취제거시설로 구성된다. 본 과제에서는 이와 같이 음식폐기물 처리공정 등에 널리 사용되는 퇴비화 공정에서 발생하는 악취를 제거하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 형태의 탈취 공정을 비교 검토하였으며, 세라믹 담체를 사용한 생물학적 처리에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 퇴비화 온도에 따른 유기물의 변화와 NaCl의 농도변화를 측정하여 퇴비화 진행에 따른 성분 변화를 예측하였다.
