Examples of recent applications of sensory measurement in the waste treatment plants.

Application	Methodology	Main Outcome of the Work	Ref.
Odor impact assessment	Dynamic olfactometry, “Operat Fb” dispersion model	Landfill was mainly responsible for odor nuisance caused by the waste management plants	[52]
Odor impact assessment	Dynamic olfactometry, CALPUFF dispersion model	Dispersion models are efficient tools for odor mitigation strategies investigation	[55]
Odor impact assessment	Dynamic olfactometry, CALPUFF dispersion model	Modeling choices may lead to a variance in the resulting odor concentrations	[56]
Odor impact assessment	Field olfactometry, CALPUFF dispersion model	Exposure to odor nuisance is an important factor in urban areas management and planning	[53]
Composting process monitoring	Dynamic olfactometry (supported by physical-chemical and respirometry measurements)	Dynamic olfactometry is a sufficient and simple method to assess compost stability	[57]
Monitoring of anaerobic digestion process	Field olfactometry (supported by GC-PID)	Field olfactometry can be used for both, odor impact assessment and monitoring of anaerobic digestion processes	[60]
(Bio)filtration efficiency assessment	Dynamic olfactometry	Organic filter presents higher deodorization efficiency than mineral one	[58]
