This book collects the proceedings of an international symposium devoted to the latest developments in the characterization and control of odour and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from industrial sources. Its main aim is to advance the state-of-the-art in measurement and sampling methods, impact prediction, emission characterization, and abatement technologies. Topics covered include regulatory and legislative frameworks; chemical and olfactory assessment of emissions; recuperative and destructive treatment technologies; substitution and reduction strategies; and case studies from various industries — including waste treatment, solvent usage, landfill gas emissions and air-borne solvent recovery. The book thus offers a comprehensive overview of both fundamental science and practical control measures for odour and VOC emissions, relevant to environmental management, industrial hygiene and air-quality regulation.
