Additionally, a variety of statistical measurements have been practiced. Based on all the knowledge and experience gained a methodology for odour annoyance evaluation has been explained. The proposed methodology consisted of field inspections as well as questionnaires description and the way of the evaluation of results. Modifications to the German methodology have been done in order to develop the evaluation process.
