Abstract
This report includes sections on: (1) fundamentals about odor formation, detection, and measurement; (2) step-wise improvement of process and odor control; and (3) interactions among facility, community, and regulatory authorities. It ends with: (4) a summary and rules of thumb, and (5) a list of odor-related research needs. Most of the information presented in the report was developed based upon sewage sludge composting odor control studies and experiences.
