The present report concerns more particularly a first campaign on the composting site of Farciennes. The report firstly introduces the composting process itself so as the potential odour sources on a compost site. Besides the usual field inspection technique, the research group has applied a dynamic olfactometry on the basis of samples collected through an flux chamber placed on the compost windrows.
