Odour pollution is bearing more and more relevance in the last years due to, not only an increased risk exposure to health but also to a life quality decrease observed in the affected population. This situation has created an increased awareness in these matters and has resulted in a major rise in regulations adopted by several national, regional and local public administrations.
