 Did you know? In 2016, 5% of global emissions were generated from solid waste management. Gases released from landfills and dump yards are hazardous to human health. They affect our nervous systems and cause irritation to our sensory systems. In addition to the adverse health effects, these gases are also known to cause inconvenience to the nearby locality due to their foul smell. Neighborhoods, near landfills, find it difficult to cope with the odor caused by waste dumping. A system is needed to bring the foul smell within controlled limits to overcome the nuisance. Real-time monitoring is necessary for taking precautionary steps against the uncontrolled spread of odor due to dynamic weather conditions. OISM-OdoSense has a novel solution specifically targeting solid waste treatment plants, landfills and dump yards. OdoSense monitors critical odor parameters like hydrogen sulfides, ammonia, TVOCs and mercaptans. Real-time monitoring allows odor source identification and analysis of odor composition to predict the odor levels. Using real-time odor data and meteorological data like wind speed and direction, our platform measures odor nuisance in the neighborhood in real-time. Using reverse modeling capabilities, the OISM platform predicts odor emission hot spots. By implementing this solution, efficient and timely odor treatment is possible which drastically reduces problem to solution time. Odor dispersion modeling helps in predicting the impact on the neighborhood and take necessary actions. Odor analysis and hot spot prediction lead to a better solid waste management. OISM-OdoSense is currently deployed at the periphery of one of Asia's largest dump yards, Kangermargen, Mumbai, which collects more than 10,000 tons of waste per day.
