In Chile, offensive odors from industrial, agricultural, and urban sources have long affected quality of life, leading to new regulations after the emblematic 2012 Freirina case.
This study tests the effectiveness of Ecosorb odor neutralizer in two Chilean companies by monitoring community complaints. Results suggest that using odor neutralizers can help any company reduce complaints and build better relationships with neighboring communities.

This paper presents the results of a pilot study aimed at identifying the most effective odor and VOC treatment system for sludge thermal drying.
The study evaluates the performance of various technologies in reducing odor, ammonia, and total organic carbon, providing key data on removal efficiencies and operational parameters. These findings help plant managers plan future treatment systems, minimize risks, and optimize costs while ensuring compliance with emission limits.

This project developed a methodology using the NASAPP web platform to monitor and analyze odor pollution from a waste management plant in a residential area.
By combining trained-user data with public participation and advanced analysis, it created an odor impact index and facilitated transparent stakeholder communication. The approach reduced odor complaints by 80% and established a replicable model for environmental conflict resolution, emphasizing community-company-authority collaboration.
