Sewage treatment works are one of the major sources that cause atmospheric odour pollution. The increase in the number of complaints about odour nuisance is due to the increase in environmental concerns. Unfortunately, the legislation on odour nuisance from sewage treatment works is very limited. In order to determine suitable thresholds on which to base legal standards, reliable and efficient odour measurement methods need to be defined. A chemical sensor array was developed for the purpose of measuring wastewater odour. This paper describes the development of the chemical sensor system which is specifically tuned to odours of wastewater origin and which can give an electronic measure of the wastewater odours. Odour emissions from a wastewater treatment facility were detected by using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor array. The array consists of nine sensor elements, which were coated with different materials. In this paper, the usage of these novel instruments in the water industry was shown.
污水处理厂是造成大气气味污染的主要来源之一。关于气味滋扰的投诉数量增加是由于环境关注度的提高。不幸的是，针对污水处理厂气味滋扰的立法非常有限。为了确定适用于法律标准的合适阈值，需要定义可靠且高效的气味测量方法。为了测量废水气味，开发了一种化学传感器阵列。本文描述了专门针对源自废水的气味进行调整且能够对废水气味进行电子测量的化学传感器系统的开发。通过使用石英晶体微天平（QCM）传感器阵列检测了污水处理设施的气味排放。该阵列由九个传感器元件组成，这些元件涂覆有不同的材料。本文展示了这些新型仪器在水行业中的应用。
