On the basis of elaborate odour studies around three sewage‐treatment plants, the relationship between modelled 10 mins average odour concentrations in combination with exceedence frequencies (percentiles) and annoyance near the sewage‐treatment plants, was investigated. Annoyance was measured by means of a telephone survey in the vicinity of the odour source. The odour concentrations were determined using sniffing measurements in combination with short‐term and long‐term dispersion model calculations – over a period of one year.
