Odor pollution, though often invisible, can significantly affect quality of life, health, and environmental sustainability. With increasing urbanization and industrial growth, managing odor complaints is crucial. To address this, Scentroid, a leader in air quality and odor monitoring, developed OdorMap, a mobile app that tracks, validates, and resolves odor complaints in real time.

OdorMap allows users to report odor incidents while utilizing geo-tagging and complaint verification with meteorological and industrial data. The app fosters collaboration between the public, industries, and regulators, enabling stakeholders to monitor and resolve odor complaints scientifically.
How OdorMap Works:
Easy Reporting: Users report odors using an intuitive interface, describing the odor, rating intensity, and specifying the time and location. Complaints are submitted anonymously, with only the user’s email collected for updates. This real-time reporting encourages local businesses to engage in environmental monitoring.

Geo-Tagging and Mapping: Every report is geo-tagged and displayed on an interactive map, enabling users to track updates and see patterns. This helps Scentroid identify recurring issues and potential new odor sources.

Industrial Data Integration: OdorMap correlates complaints with nearby industrial operations (e.g., emissions from factories or landfills). It helps validate if a reported odor is related to industrial activities, assisting regulators and industries in promptly addressing odor issues.

SIMS3 Odor Dispersion Modeling: Using Scentroid’s advanced SIMS3 system, OdorMap predicts odor dispersion based on emission data. This modeling helps validate complaints, pinpoint sources, and assess environmental impacts.

Data for Authorities: Anonymized complaint data is shared with industries and regulators, enabling swift action. SIMS3’s analytics tools help authorities track odor trends and problem sources. This data helps optimize industrial processes and reduce future complaints.

Notifications and Updates: Users receive notifications when a complaint source is identified, with updates provided directly from the relevant facility. Complaint statuses are regularly updated, keeping the community informed.

Empowering Communities
OdorMap empowers communities to actively engage in environmental monitoring. Its user-friendly complaint submission system allows residents to report issues easily, while real-time updates keep users informed. The public map feature promotes transparency, helping build trust between residents, industries, and regulators.
