Abstracts
The correlation analysis between odor sensor and air dilution olfactometry method with odor emission facilities
was performed for the real-time evaluation of odor emitted from the 13 facilities. The total correlation was less
significant for all facilities due to various emission characteristics of odor. The correlation for the individual facility,
however, showed a higher correlation coefficient (R=0.7371~0.9897). Especially, the strong correlation (above 0.9)
was observed for the industry type with the odor characteristics like tobacco, styrofoam, acetic acid, and burning
smell. The repeated odor measurements using the odor sensor showed good reproducibility with the mean relative
standard deviation of 5.06%. The odor sensor could be useful tools for identifying and evaluating odor with an
olfactometry in field, if the use and proofreading of the odor sensor are improved by a standardized method.
