Abstract

On the late nineties, recurrent episodes of odor nuisance were produced on the Besos river basic with special incidence on the nearby city of Montecada i Reixac, particularly during the dry summer season. In order to gain more information about the phenomenon, an appropriate H₂S emission survey program was designed, by means of two monitorization stations, one fixed and another mobile, equipped with continuous real-time analyzers. The H₂S was analyzed by previous oxidation to SO₂, followed by molecular fluorescence determination of this compound. During the 1994 summer period the measured levels of H₂S concentration, meteorologic conditions and occurrence of odor episodes was evident.
