The Relationship Between Odor Unit and Odorous Compounds in Control Areas Using Multiple Regression Analysis

Abstract

We investigated a trait of odor and the relationship between odor unit and odorous compounds using multiple regression analysis based on data compiled from Sihwa (SIC), Banwol (BIC), Banwol plating (BPIC) and Poseung industrial complex (PIC). These areas are odor control areas in Gyeonggi province. It was revealed that <TEX>$NH_3$</TEX> and styrene concentrations in SIC and BPIC were relatively higher and <TEX>$H_2S$</TEX> concentration especially in mc was more than five times higher than other areas. As a result of regression analysis using SAS, intensity of odor unit was highly related to concentrations of <TEX>$H_2S$</TEX>, TMA, styrene and n-valeraldehyde in SIC, <TEX>$H_2S$</TEX>, acetaldehyde, and butyraldehyde in BPIC and <TEX>$NH_3$</TEX> in BIC.
