STUDIES OF ODOUR NUISANCE IN INVESTMENT FOUNDRY

The emission of odours associated with the activities of various industrial plants and facilities is treated as a nuisance, and not as a factor harmful to humans and the environment. The smell, even when subjectively perceived as pleasant, with a significant concentration and longer persistence in the air becomes a nuisance and can cause discomfort and negative emotions in people living near the source of the emissions.
