OdourCollect is an innovative citizen science platform developed to enhance the monitoring and management of odour pollution, especially in complex settings with multiple emission sources.

   By actively involving local communities in the detection and reporting of odour events, the platform produces collaborative, real-time odour maps that are integrated with meteorological and regulatory information. This participatory methodology not only improves the characterisation and localisation of odour impacts but also facilitates compliance with the UNE 77270:2023 standard. Consequently, OdourCollect serves as an effective tool for environmental consultants, public authorities, and citizens to comprehensively manage odour-related environmental challenges.

   Increasing citizen demands for better environmental quality have led Chile, a party to the Escazu Agreement, to adopt participatory monitoring in environmental assessments, including for odour pollution.

   This work aims to compare the D-NOSES citizen-based odour data collection method with traditional assessment approaches. The study will evaluate the consistency of citizen-reported odour observations using an odour annoyance index. This assessment is crucial to validate the reliability of citizen-generated odour measurements.
