Abstract
This article summarises some aspects of investigations carried out into methods available to assess the impact of odours on people living adjacent to large sewage treatment works. The problems of using mathematical modelling techniques in assessing the impact of odours, in particular relatively low level but socially unacceptable odours, are discussed. The conclusion then reached is that the techniques are not sufficiently advanced to yield reliable results.
