Abstract
Two sewage treatment facilities were selected to identify odor emission characteristics, focusing on volatile organiccompounds (VOCs) and sulfur compounds. The complex odor, 5 kinds of sulfur compounds and 23 kinds of VOCswere analyzed from gas and sludge storages. Hydrogen sulfide was detected in the highest concentration and hadthe highest odor quotient among the odorous compounds monitored in this study, demonstrating that thecontribution of hydrogen sulfide to the complex odor reached up to 90%. For VOCs, the overall contribution tothe complex odor was not critical but VOCs can sufficiently trigger an odorous sensation because the sum of theodor quotient reached up to 2.89.
