Odor issues related to industrial processes are not uncommon. An odor is caused by one or more volatilized organic compounds (VOCs) that humans can perceive by the sense of smell. The challenge is that “odor is subjective, and what is sweet to some, can be a nuisance to others. In most cases the compounds that create the offensive odors are not present in sufficient concentrations to present a health threat, however they can diminish the quality of life of those exposed to them by their offensive nature.
