Popis: The paper presents the results of investigation on ambient air quality evaluation with respect to concentration of odorants in a vicinity of municipal landfill. The investigation was carried out with a prototype of electronic nose and a team of panelists utilizing the Nasal Ranger field olfactometers. The prototype was equipped with a set of six semiconductor sensors by FIGARO Co. and one PID-type sensor. Performed measurements revealed that the prototype of electronic nose could be employed for determination of odorants concentration in ambient air; difference in mean values of odorants concentration obtained with both techniques was statistically insignificant in 75% of cases. The highest mean values of odorants concentration amounted from 12.5 to 36.7 ou/m3 depending on distance from the emitter, measurement direction and applied measurementtechnique.
