Study and Analysis of Odour at Baramati Industrial Areas of Pune District

Abstract

In this paper, odour pollution in the environment will be reviewed, including its sources and dispersion, the physical and chemical properties of odour, odour emission regulations in selected countries, odour control technologies as well as the state-of-the-art instrumentation and technology that are necessary to monitor odour, e.g., chemical sensors, olfactometry, gas chromatography, and electronic noses. Since the Law of Offensive Odour Control was enacted, many enterprises have made efforts to prevent odour nuisance. Odour survey was conducted at each factory and characteristics of odour emission for each kind of business were made clear. And many researches and developments have been carried out to confirm reliable technique. In order to remove odourants from exhaust gas, deodorizing plants have been installed at various emission sources gradually. Much formation for odour control could have been stored up for these 30 years. In my seminar, an outline of odour pollution control at various emission sources in India is introduced, that is, a number of newly installed deodorization facility, characteristics of odor emission from each type of business, efficiency of deodorizing equipment, recent trend of the development. The different odour measurement methods were introduced to Indian experts and priority was set to methods which do not need a lot of technical facilities or expertise. It was observed that the most feasible option to carry out an odour survey in India is to use Field Investigation Method. Applied field investigation method was modified to fit India
