This study evaluated the impact of different sample pretreatment strategies on analytical representativity using a model feed of blue and white high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) flakes. The evaluated pretreatments included (1) direct injection molding, (2) melt-homogenization followed by injection molding, (3) cryogrinding followed by injection molding, and finally (4) cryogrinding combined with melt-homogenization and injection molding. The distribution of the blue-colored HIPS in the samples was assessed visually and using direct insertion probe mass spectrometry (DIP-MS). Additionally, BFR-containing samples were obtained from a mixture of HIPS and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). The distributions of total bromine and TBBPA in the specimens were evaluated using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and DIP-MS, respectively. Direct injection molding of the flake mixtures resulted in heterogeneous distributions, while cryogenic grinding or melt-homogenization prior to molding produced homogeneous samples. XRF analysis of BFR-containing samples revealed that melt-homogenized samples exhibited lower and more consistent bromine content compared to directly molded ones.<!--> <!-->DIP-MS was effective not only for additive identification but also for evaluating their spatial distribution.

Conventional odor measurement methods (e.g., olfactometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) have been instrumental in studying landfill emissions and addressing odor complaints. However, these methods either rely on subjective human assessment or require bulky equipment, limiting their large-scale applications on landfill sites. Additionally, real-time odor measurement is hindered by the need for on-site air sampling followed by detailed panel or lab analysis. To overcome these limitations, there is a need to modernize landfill odor assessment through automation, enabling air sampling and analysis with rapid response to odor complaints. Scaling these odor sensors for instantaneous, widespread measurement presents challenges due to the complex and highly variable composition of landfill gaseous emissions. The primary odorants include volatile compounds (VCs) (e.g., hydrogen sulfide, ammonia) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (e.g., aromatic hydrocarbons, organic acids). This work explores the current state-of-the-art olfactory-based and analytical-based methods for landfill odor assessment and examines the latest advancements in automated platforms for large-scale measurement, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). This work also discusses the integration of graphic information system (GIS) and digital twin (DT) technologies for high-resolution spatiotemporal odor mapping and multi-modal data analysis (e.g., zoning, building classifications). Furthermore, the study provides insights into the future convergence of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven analytics, hybrid sensor technologies, and cost-effective scalable solutions to enhance landfill odor assessment and policy development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23969,"journal":{"name":"Waste management","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 115086"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144864421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
