Odor Sciences
The air quality staff at RK & Associates, Inc. (RKA) is experienced in assessing, measuring, and developing odor control strategies for a variety of odor emitting sources.  Solutions to odor problems lie in the comprehensive analysis of odor complaints and odor sources.


Postulate the likely sources of the odor and the odoriferous compounds they may be producing.

  • Develop a well-coordinated sampling and analysis scheme.

  • Collect field samples at the odor sources and at the site of the complaint.
  • Evaluate the odor notes and intensity of the field samples using sensory apparatus and odor panels.

  • Identify the odoriferous components of the samples using analytical instrumentation.  This information can also be used for risk assessment associated with the odor emissions.

  • Implement odor dispersion models to estimate odor intensity in the impacted community.

  • Evaluate existing odor control measures in terms of reducing odor emissions.

  • Recommend additional odor control measures to reduce odor complaints and/or satisfy the local regulatory requirements.

  • Design/procure/install odor control measures.
