The journal Atmosphere invites researchers to contribute to the 2nd edition of the special issue "Environmental Odour," focusing on odour emissions, dispersion, measurement, modelling, and impact assessment across sectors like waste management, agriculture, and industry.
The submission deadline has been extended to May 11, 2026, providing plenty of time for authors to prepare high-quality manuscripts. Full details, including scope and submission guidelines, are available on the special issue webpage.
The special issue is guest edited by Martin Piringer and Gunther Schauberger, both recognised internationally for their contributions to atmospheric dispersion modelling and environmental odour research.
This second edition builds on the success of the first, published in 2020, which featured 11 papers that garnered strong interest and excellent visibility for contributors through open-access dissemination. Topics span the full chain from odour source identification (often via techniques like gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) to atmospheric dispersion modelling (e.g., CALPUFF or LASAT) and annoyance assessment using odour impact criteria. The issue encourages field trials, case studies, and reviews to advance practical odour management and regulatory harmonization.
