PrOlor is the world's first commercial software application capable of forecasting odour impact two days in advance by using advanced dispersion models together with odour measurements taken at the sources.
In this study, the PrOlor tool was used for ten months to forecast the odour impact of an animal by-products processing plant on a municipality close to the plant.

The SulfSCAN project presented in this article proposes a new approach to obtaining concentration maps by deploying a network of low cost olfactory sensors, and the development of atmospheric modeling tools to estimate the dispersion of odors in real time.
Biofiltration is the most widely used technique for eliminating odours in waste treatment plants (WTP). Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are among the odorous compounds emitted by WTP, and serve as variables to measure odour emissions depending on the type of aeration process used.
