Abatement of Malodors at Confined Dredged Material Disposal Sites.

Abstract

Samples of malodorous air and dredged material were collected during the period July-October 1975 at confined disposal sites at the following locations: Buffalo, N. Y., Milwaukee, Wis., Mobile, Ala., York Harbor, Maine, Houston, Tex., Detroit, Mich., and Anacortes, Wash. Odorous compounds in the air samples were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, while the detection threshold, intensity, and character of the various odors were determined by experienced odor panelists using a dynamic, and granula media cartridges, and a general methodology for the design of containment facilities as solid-liquid separation systems was formulated.
