TL;DR: These studies prove that electronic noses are mostly suitable for the different applications reported, especially if the instruments are specifically developed and fine-tuned, as their use entails a large number of degrees of freedom.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the techniques that can be adopted for measuring odours in the field, particularly discussing how such techniques can be used in alternative or in combination with odour dispersion models for odour impact assessment purposes, and how the results of field odour measurements and model outputs can be related and compared to each other.

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of three different odour characterization techniques, i.e., chemical analyses, dynamic olfactometry and electronic noses, for the assessment of odour emissions from a landfill site is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study was conducted on an area of northern Italy comprising three small municipalities where four rendering plants are located near to each other based on the emission data resulting from olfactometric surveys conducted in different periods of the year the overall odour emission rate emitted by each plant were evaluated, showing that the major contributor to the odour impact on the territory was plant 2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of odour concentration measurements sampled from the principal odour sources of seven different and dimensionally representative Italian Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills are presented.
