Dispersion modeling defines the relationship between the emission source and the receptor. While control measures may be applied to the emission source, compliance with odor nuisance standards depend on whether the odor concentrations at the receptor have been adequately reduced with respect to their frequency, intensity, duration and location.

In this article we make a comparative analysis of the performance of the AERMOD and SYMOS’97 dispersion models for simulating the dispersion of odorous compounds in the atmosphere. Although there are a large amount of air dispersion models in literature, there are few data bases that allow the assessment of results obtained by the dispersion simulation of odorous compounds.
