Environmental odour is perceived as major nuisance by rural as well as by urban populations. The sources of odorous substances are manifold. In urban areas restaurants, small manufacturing businesses and other sources can be found inside residential areas.

As a matter of fact, environmental odours are considered to be a common cause of public complaints by residents to local authorities, regional or national environmental agencies. In the 1st Chinese-Austrian Workshop on Environmental Odour held in Tianjin, China in February 2015 this environmental issue was addressed to compile experiences in this field. Participants from several universities as well as state agencies took part. The goal of this workshop was to establish cooperations in this field. One of the major results of this workshop was a bilateral joint project between the University of Science and Technology Beijing and Austrian partner organisations. The proceedings of this workshop were published in Volume 8 of the Austrian Contributions to Veterinary Epidemiology, a journal, which offers open access to all papers. In February 2016, the 2nd Chinese-Austrian Workshop on Environmental Odour was held in Shanghai, as one of the hotspots of environmental odour research in China. The workshop was hosted by Prof. Dr. Pinjing He, Institute of Waste Treatment & Reclamation at the College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University in Shanghai. The workshop included the following topics (1) Characterisation of odour sources by emission factors and emission models, (2) Monitoring of odour emission in diverse environments, (3) Equipment and methods of odour measurement, and (4) Assessment of the relevant s [...]
