Determination of Chemical prints of VOCs through GC-IMS and its Application in Detection of Odoriferous Substances
In this paper, the possibility of faster measures for determination of chemical prints of VOCs and odours through GC-IMS technique has been evaluated.
The results from air samples of different locations in a metropolitan wastewater treatment works in the UK are shown.

The Interlaboratory Comparison for Olfactometry (ILC) based on EN 13725:2003 has been announced for 2016 and the company Olfasense is behind the organization. The proficiency tests allow laboratories to demonstrate compliance with its performace requirements and compare the performance of their laboratory internationally.
Many industries generate strong odors emissions throughout the production process. The subjective nature of odor, together with the difficulties in their diagnosis and search for appropriate solutions, make this study becomes an effective tool for success. The experience is based on the association of three evaluation criteria applied simultaneously: olfactometric criterion for "identification of the nuisance", dynamic simulation criteria for "visualization of behavior in space" and structural analysis criteria for a "better elimination of causal compounds."
