Agricultural odors are a combination of many different gases in extremely low concentrations. The slightest difference in composition can alter the way a person perceives the odor.

Two common approaches used to measure odors are explored in this publication. They are gas measurement (equipment) and odor measurement (people). Both have pros and cons.
