In this research, a total of 11 newly designated offensive odorants in Korea in 2008 and 2010 (styrene (S), toluene (T), p-xylene (p-X), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), butyl acetate (BuAc), isobutyl alcohol (i-BuAl), propionic acid (PA), butyric acid (BA), isovaleric acid (IA), and valeric acid (VA)) were selected as target compounds and analyzed from two types of gutter system in the urban environment. Because of the environmental significance of these compounds as offensive odorants, the results are meaningful enough to explore their behavior and distribution in the urban environmental systems. In the course of this study, samples were collected three times a day from two different gutter systems representing the wet (W) and dry (D) conditions. A large fraction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) data fell into method detection limit (MDL) range with exceptions of toluene, p-xylene, and methyl ethyl ketone. In contrast, the results of organic fatty acids were distinguished by the relative dominance of butyric acid and propionic acid over others. If the concentration data of all odorants were converted into odor intensity (OI), the results of aromatics, ketones, acetate, and alcohol groups approached zero level. However, odor intensity of organic fatty acids was noticeably higher with the value of 2.8 (on average) from both W and D system, suggesting their potent roles as odorants in gutter system.
