Développement d'un instrument d'évaluation des impacts de matériaux sensibles aux moisissures sur la qualité de l'air intérieur. Development of an instrument to evaluate the impact of moulds-sensitive materials on indoor air quality

Description : In the frame of a FIRST-Europe project, the research team worked with a partner from university of Barcelona (Spain) and a company fabricating products to reduce moisture problems in dwellings. An original instrument was designed. It was based on the "electronic nose" principle. With suitable data p...

The electronic nose as a warning device of the odour emergence in a compost hall

Description : A self-made electronic nose consisting in a sensor array of six commercial tin oxide gas sensors is used to monitor the odour emission from a compost facility. Supervised data processing tools, such as discriminant analysis, are able to recognize, in real time, the odour of compost with respect to o...

Chemometrics methods for the identification and the monitoring of an odour in the environement with an electronic nose

Description : The purpose of the paper is to briefly review some researches regarding the adaptation of the electronic nose principle to recognise some malodour sources in the environment, if possible directly in the field, and to monitor the odour intensity continuously. Research aims at improving the portabilit...

Microbial volatile organic compounds as indicators of fungi. Can an electronic nose detect fungi in indoor environments?

Description : The paper presents a review of several studies on the detection of microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) considered as indicators of fungal contamination. As fungi produce specific profiles, or fingerprints of volatile compounds, the electronic nose technology is a very promising opportunity ...

Complementary approaches to measure environmental odours emitted by landfill areas

Description : This paper presents different methods to assess the odour emission and the odour annoyance in the surroundings. It is shown, on the example of landfill areas and composting facilities, that chemical analyses are helpful to identify key compounds of the odour release, and to set up the specification ...

Electronic nose : a promising tool for landfill odour monitoring

Description : The paper briefly presents the advantages and drawbacks of the use of electronic noses to monitor continuously the odours generated by a landfill area. It stresses more particularly on the remaining obstacles to surmount before using the technique on a routine level.
