Description
Summary:The realisation of an electronic nose network for the monitoring of the odour concentrations at the fenceline of a waste treatment plant has been investigated. One of the main challenges for instrumental environmental monitoring concerns the interference of the daily variability of humidity and temperature of the ambient air to which sensors are exposed. In this study, we propose a solution to overcome this problem, implementing a specific normalisation pretreatment into the data processing procedure. The preliminary results obtained show a better classification and quantification performance whenever humidity model compensation is applied.
