Separation distance between industrial source and residential areas to avoid odor annoyance was investigated using AUSPLUME model. A Gaussian plume model (AUSPLUME) for the dispersion was used to calculate odor emission from ground level area source. Using the dispersion model to calculate ambient odor concentrations, the separation distance between industrial source and residental areas was defined by %HA (percentage of highly annoyed person) and odor percentile concentration (C98). The result was compared with the separation distance of various nation guidelines for livestock buildings. The calculated separation distance for industrial source showed similar pattern comparing with various guidelines for livestock buildings.

Odor from sewage treatment plants have the potential to cause significant annoyance and to impact the amenity. In this study, odor emission characteristics at unit process of 48 sewage treatment facilities in 39 plants were evaluated using composite odor concentration and hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) concentration. The values of composite odor concentration (geometry mean) and $H_2S$ concentration (median) for sludge treatment processes are higher than those for the other treatment processes. The composite odor concentration and $H_2S$ concentration are distributed over a wide area in each process. Composite odor concentration (dilution ratio) was found to have the significant correlation with $H_2S$ concentration (p=0.000<0.05). The $H_2S$ concentration accounted for 67.1% of composite odor concentration.

Odor is one of the major nuisances in the environment. In most countries, odor annoyance from livestock production is an increasing problem in community. In order to reduce the odor inconvenience and establish a good relation between livestock industries and the surrounding communities, many studies, such as diffusion simulations and field experiments, on the odor dispersion and its reduction have been investigated. These studies need to accompany the aerodynamic approach, as a main mechanism of diffusion phenomenon, and computational fluid dynamics(CFD) can be effectively used to study this kind of research. CFD considers both various wind conditions as well as topographical conditions to study aerodynamic phenomenon. Therefore the ultimate objective of the study was to develop an aerodynamic model to predict qualitatively and quantitatively odor diffusion from livestock. In this study, as the first step of this study, various phenomena and factors of odor diffusion from livestock houses were investigated through field experiments in 2007. Later, those data will be also used to verify the CFD accuracy as well as to develop 3-dimensional CFD model.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of fourteen odor compounds from a total of 10 sampling sites in residential areas around Banwol-Sihwa industrial complex. The measurement data are analyzed and compared with sensation of odor unit. Only a hydrogen sulfide out of four sulfur compounds was quantified above the detection limit (0.06 ppb) in the residential area around Banwol industrial complex with leather companies and a sewage treatment plant. The concentrations of VOCs were higher than those measured from a big city, and styrene showed the relatively high concentration from all sampling sites ($2.1{\sim}37.8\;ppb$). In the case of carbonyl compounds, acetaldehyde was found most frequently with the mean of 3.97 ppb, and its concentration difference was not significant between Banwol and Sihwa industrial complex. Of the nitrogen compounds, ammonia was measured at the relatively high concentration from all the sampling sites ($12{\sim}707\;ppb$), and a trimethylamine was found at the odor threshold level (0.1 ppb). The concentrations of styrene and ammonia showed relatively seasonal variation, the concentration of styrene in summer was five times higher than that in autumn, the concentration of ammonia in autumn was two times higher than that in summer. However other odorous compounds did not show such strong seasonal variation. Odor-concentration relationship between odor unit and $H_{2}S$ concentrations from industrial sources was examined and used as odor sensation evaluation, and thus the neighbourhood odor complaints maybe caused during the four seasons from the results.

이 연구의 목적은 겨울철 양돈농가의 육성${\cdot}$비육돈사를 대상으로 돈사내부의 암모니아 가스와 이산화탄소 가스 농도를 측정하여 양돈시설에서 얼마만큼의 암모니아 가스가 발생하는 가를 분석하기 위한 것으로 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 육성${\cdot}$비육돈사의 내부의 온도는 최소 $6.4^{\circ}C$, 최대 $18.9^{\circ}C$, 일중 평균 $12.4{\pm}4^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 돈사내부의 온도는 외기의 온도가 $-7.9\~5^{\circ}C$인 것을 고려하면 돼지의 체열에 의한 온도상승으로 가온을 하지 않았음에도 불구하고 외기온도 보다 약 $10^{\circ}C$ 높게 유지되었으며, 외기온의 변화와 같은 경향으로 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 겨울철 육성${\cdot}$비육돈사의 환기율을 분석한 결과 돼지 한 마리당 일평균 $16\;m^3/h$로 나타났으며, 최소 $12\;m^3/h$, 최대 $22.4\;m^3/h$로 최대환기율과 최소환기율에 2배 정도 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 겨울철 이산화탄소 농도는 일중 평균 $1,775{\pm}230\;ppm$으로 나타났으며, 환기율과 암모니아 농도를 고려하여 분석한 암모니아 발생량은 일중 평균 $208{\pm}28\;mg/h{\cdot}pig$ 내외로 나타났다. 겨울철에는 다른 계절과 달리 돈사내부의 온도관리를 위해 돈사의 윈치커튼을 닫아 내부의 암모니아 농도는 높으나, 환기율이 상대적으로 낮아 암모니아가스 발생량은 다른 계절과 비교하여 상대적으로 적은 것으로 분석되었다.
