Abstract

Urban wastewater treatment are frequently a source of olfactory nuisances caused by a multitude of compounds. The main pollutants are sulphur and nitrogen containing molecules and organic compounds such as aldehydes, ketones and volatile fatty acids. The odours vary widely (faecal, rancid, etc.) depending on the chemical type. Moreover, the olfactory perceptibility thresholds for some of these compounds are extremely low, that for hydrogen sulphide being, for example, 1.10-1 mg/m3 (Van Gemert, 1977; Loenardos, 1958).
