Abstract
The objective of the Project was to validate the odor annoyance from normal food preparation. For this purpose, it designed a questionnaire in order to obtain the perception from affected in this comunity. It considered frequency, intensity, duration and offensive as baseline of our study. Further, it added a parameter denominated acceptability to relate with expressed intensity and to evaluate it later. By correlating expressed and theorical intensity, it observed a significant correlation among complainants. This is supported by the small graphic obtained acceptability. Finally, the food odor complaints were validated qualitatively under the FIDO scheme. However, the perception of those complaints does not have a clear direction to define objectively.

The aim of this study was to validate olfactometric measurements made in neighborhood of facilities that emit odours at the same time measure the impact on the nearby population before and after installation, and operation of equipment to mitigate odors.
Currently, odour modelling maps represent a static photo on the impact assessment in P98, 1h. This information allows the proper design of odour control measures, regarding emission reduction or better dispersion. However, this information is not enough to carry out an operational and proactive odour management, which is associated with the operations at installations.
The Everett – Marysville area has a complex olfactory landscape. Several industrial and municipal activities located nearby generate odors that could, in some operational and meteorological circumstances, be perceived by the surrounding communities. Amongst the sources of odor generation, there are a number of contributors including: a composting plant, top soil facility, a wood yard and chip processing, landfill and 3 WWTP.
