Air emissions from industrial and municipal sources are the main public concerns and causes odour and air quality complaints, affecting neighboring residents' quality of life and hindering further development of these sources; yet very limited research has been conducted to study odour and air pollutant emissions impact. Oil refineries are important to Canada yet have always been a target of air quality complaints; municipal wastewater treatment plants (WTPs) located in urban areas cause odour complaints. Odour study for these sources is rather recent; odour is perceived as nuisance and its impact on human health is overlooked and it is mostly not regulated. These sources are also important greenhouse gas (GHG) emission sources. Accurate estimation of GHG emission is important because a) carbon tax has been implemented in Canada, and b) Canada has set 30% GHG reduction by 2030, and 80% by 2050 compared to 2005. As all air emission measurement methods are similar, it will be efficient to include all three in this study. Although USEPA AP 42 and IPCC have emission factors for air pollutants and GHGs based on very limited data, they state that they are open to change based on new studies. Hence, research is needed to improve the accuracy of these emission factors, especially in cold region of Canada. The long term goal of this research program is to quantify air emissions from major municipal and industrial sources in Canadian Prairies, assess their impact on surrounding areas regarding odour and air quality, and set odour criteria and determine science-based setbacks for various landuses to ensure acceptable air quality. For the next 5 years (short term), the research focus will be on oil refineries and WTPs. Air emissions will be measured from all sources on sites. Basic odour properties will be studies. Odour and air pollutants plumes in the vicinity of the sources will be measured. Air dispersion model(s) then will be validated using field data and air quality monitoring station data; the model(s) will be used to predict long term odour and air pollutant impact on nearby areas. Odour impact criteria for various landuses will be recommended. Then a setback model to ensure both odour and air quality using validated dispersion model and impact criteria will be developed. Upon completion of the project, odour, air pollutants, and GHG emission factors, dispersion models, and setback distance models will be available for use by oil refinery and WTPs industries and governments. It will provide a systematic odour and air emission impact assessment system for managing air emission impact and accurately projecting air pollutants and GHG emissions. Using the validated dispersion models and the impact criteria, governments and industries can verify air quality and odour complaints and siting for new facility or expansion of existing ones.

工业和市政资源的空气排放是主要的公众关注，引起了气味和空气质量的抱怨，影响着邻近居民的生活质量，并阻碍了这些来源的进一步发展；然而，已经进行了非常有限的研究来研究气味和空气污染物排放的影响。炼油厂对加拿大很重要，但一直是空气质量投诉的目标；位于城市地区的市政废水处理厂（WTP）引起异味。这些来源的气味研究是最近的。气味被认为是滋扰，其对人类健康的影响被忽略了，并且大多不受监管。这些来源也是重要的温室气体（GHG）排放来源。由于a）加拿大已经实施了碳税，而且与2005年相比，加拿大已经实施了30％的温室气体，到2050年，加拿大已经降低了30％的温室气体。由于所有空气排放测量方法都是相似的，因此加拿大已将碳税降低了30％。尽管根据数据非常有限的数据，USEPA AP 42和IPCC具有空气污染物和温室气体的排放因子，但它们声明他们根据新研究开放更改。因此，需要进行研究以提高这些排放因素的准确性，尤其是在加拿大寒冷地区。 该研究计划的长期目标是量化加拿大大草原主要市政和工业来源的空气排放，评估其对气味和空气质量的影响，并设定气味标准并确定基于科学的挫折，以确保可接受的空气质量。在接下来的5年（短期）中，研究重点将放在炼油厂和WTP上。空气排放将从站点上的所有来源测量。基本的气味特性将是研究。将测量来源附近的气味和空气污染物羽状物。然后，将使用现场数据和空气质量监控站数据对空气分散模型进行验证；该模型将用于预测附近地区的长期气味和空气污染物的影响。建议针对各种陆地的气味影响标准。然后，将开发出使用经过验证的分散模型和影响标准的挫折模型，以确保气味和空气质量。 项目完成后，气味，空气污染物和温室气体排放因素，分散模型和挫折距离模型将可供石油炼油厂和WTPS工业和政府使用。它将提供系统的气味和空气排放影响评估系统，用于管理空气排放影响并准确预测空气污染物和温室气体排放。使用经过验证的分散模型和影响标准，政府和行业可以验证空气质量和气味投诉，并为新设施或现有设施扩展而坐下。
