Procedure for the Measurement of Offensive Odors using Dynamic Olfactometry according to standard EN 13725 1. Identify the emitting sources of offensive odors to be evaluated, as well as the frequency of the emissions (constant, intermittent).
2. Design a sampling plan that allows characterizing the emissions and immissions of offensive odors, as applicable, considering the most unfavorable emission situations. According to the procedure in Annex 2.
3. Take air samples in odorless bags, in accordance with the sampling plan. Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are considered appropriate materials for the bags.
4. Transport the samples to the laboratory in a time of less than 30 hours, without suffering alterations such as adsorption, diffusion, and chemical transformation. During transport and storage, the samples must remain at a temperature below 25°C. Furthermore, they must not be exposed to direct sunlight.
5. Determine the odor concentration of the sample through analysis by a panel of assessors (panelists), according to standard EN 13725. The sample is diluted in an olfactometer with a neutral gas (air or nitrogen) safe to breathe and perceived as odorless, for which it is tested before starting the measurement procedure by verifying whether or not it is perceived as odorless.
6. The measurements, in case of repetition, must be carried out under conditions similar to those previously performed.
Procedure for tracing the surveillance area of the offensive odor plume 1. Tracing of the surveillance area between the generating entity and the receiving source It is used for terrestrial odor sources, at elevations of up to 10 meters; in the case of complaints, it shall be up to the property of the complainant; in the case of operational reports, it shall be up to the farthest internal boundary (lindero) of the property of the generating entity of the plume from the offensive odor source. It is important to begin tracking the plume as close as possible to the boundary of the emitting source on the property of the generating entity. Figure 1 shows Figure 1: Tracing of the surveillance area from the generating entity to the receiving source or farthest internal boundary of the generating source.
2. Preparation prior to evaluation Before beginning a trace of the surveillance area, carry out an in-person reconnaissance or use updated aerial mapping resources. Make visual observations of all safety risks and note the characteristics of the surroundings that must be investigated.
2.1. Create a map of the investigation area, leaving enough space to trace the surveillance route in the field.
2.2. Evaluate local wind conditions, using the website of the Instituto Meteorológico Nacional de Costa Rica www.imn.ac.cr or another method.
3. In the field 3.1. Use the forecast wind conditions to choose the most appropriate side of the source to begin tracing the surveillance area.
3.2. If it is not possible to access observation points for some wind directions, postpone the trace of the surveillance area until wind conditions are more favorable.
3.3. Go to a location upwind (barlovento) of the source to verify that there are no other odor sources.
3.4. Begin by locating the starting point parallel to the edge of the plume. Then cross the plume perpendicular to the wind from a crosswind location from the source.
This should be as close as possible to the source before moving away from the source in a zigzag pattern.
3.5. Record odor observations and the route followed on a map, either manually or using a mobile device. (using olfactometers, interviewing neighbors, panel of observers) 3.6. To calculate the number of sampling points, it shall be done as follows:
𝑝 = 4.8 ? 𝑛 Where 𝑛 = 𝑛ú𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑜 𝑑𝑒 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑚é𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑠 𝑐𝑢𝑎𝑑𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑠 𝑑𝑒𝑙 á𝑟𝑒𝑎 𝑑𝑒 𝑣𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑎 𝑒𝑛 𝑓𝑖𝑔𝑢𝑟𝑎 1 𝑝 = 𝑛ú𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑜 𝑑𝑒 𝑝𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑜𝑠 𝑎 𝑚𝑢𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑠 𝑎𝑙 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑜𝑟 𝑚á𝑠 𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑜 4. The sampling plan must include:
4.1. Name of the Measurement Responsible Party 4.2. Status of the odor detection results of the Measurement Responsible Party (Surveillance area, type of odors identified, intensity, etc.)
4.3. Date of surveillance 4.4. CRTM 05 coordinates, address or location where each odor observation is made (observation point) 4.5. Start and stop time for each odor observation 4.6. Wind speed and direction at unobstructed points throughout the study 4.7. Intensity, presence, and character of the odor 4.8. Temperature at the start and at the end of the surveillance.
Criteria for the Certification of Competencies of the Technical Responsible Party (Responsable Técnico) 1. Education: Chemist, Industrial Chemist, Chemical Engineer, or Industrial Chemical Engineer. Duly incorporated into the respective professional association (colegio).
2. General competencies: The certification scheme must evaluate the following general competencies:

d. Size equipment for the reduction of offensive odors using unit processes and operations.
e. Design and implement corrective actions that guarantee compliance with the maximum permissible limits of odor concentration.
3. Specific competencies: The certification scheme must evaluate the following specific competencies:

Complaint evaluation procedure FIDO analysis (Frequency, Intensity, Duration, and Offensiveness) 1. How offensive the ambient odor is:
a. Find the most specific odor outside the circle below, measured at the property boundaries of the generator and at the nearest receptor in the predominant wind direction.
b. Find the general odor type in the inner circle.
c. Find the ambient odor or odor type in the list below to determine how offensive the odor is.
| Not unpleasant | Unpleasant | Offensive | Highly offensive |
|---|
| 1. Floral and herbal odors 7. Pine and mint odors | · Fishy odors · Earthy, musty, rancid odors · Chemical odor · Medicine and detergent odors | 2. Pungent and rancid odors 4. Fecal odors | 3. Putrid odors 10. Rotten and swampy odors |
| Possible sources | | | |
| Alcohols Freshly cut grass or hay Normal coffee roasting Food preparation Bakery Perfume Spice packaging Winery (Lagar) | Wastewater during treatment Livestock operation under best management practices Water-based paint Gasoline, diesel, fuel diesel fuel exhaust asphalt odors burnt coffee or food burnt wood ammonia chlorine tobacco smoke constant barbecue or cooking odors extraction or fractionation of natural gas Asphalt plants | Garbage dump / waste Cleaning of livestock lagoon Confined pig operations Confined poultry operations Decomposing compost Unprocessed material and wastewater from dead animal recycling plants Typical odor from grease trap Burning of waste (rubber, plastic, tires, other materials other than wood) Defective or poorly operated septic systems Organic products such as automotive paint and styrene | Untreated or barely treated wastewater Decomposing animals / fish Processing of animal hides Rotten grease Blood drying operations [e.g., animal slaughterhouses] Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) (landfill gas, paper mill gas, rotten egg, etc.) Mercaptans (cause of natural gas odor) |
2. Choose the intensity level of the odor 3. Choose the frequency of the odor How often do you smell the odor?
? Occasionally ? Daily ? Weekly ? Monthly ? Every 3 months a. In the following tables, first look for the duration of the ambient odor. Then, follow that row across the table until you reach the column that matches the frequency of the odor.
b. Look at the letters in each box of the table. They represent the intensity of the odor (MF = Very Strong; F = Strong; M = Moderate; D = Weak). If the level you chose for the intensity of the ambient odor (MF, F, M, or D) appears in the box of those tables, then the ambient odor could be a nuisance and interfere with normal life and will be considered a valid complaint. If the level you chose for the odor intensity does not appear in the table box or appears as N/A, it is unlikely that the odor is a nuisance.
