The D-NOSES project and methods are all about inclusion. Inclusion in the broadest sense is not just about inviting people to the table. It is essential that when they come to the table they can understand and fully contribute to the discussion. Otherwise, they are not truly represented. The International Odour Observatory was created to […]
Odour Collect is the preferred D-NOSES tool for collecting real-time data on odours. The free Citizen Science Application OdourCollect is simple and only requires users to rate detected odours and its type on their hedonic tone (is it a pleasant or unpleasant smell), and their intensity. The data collected is automatically registered in time and […]
The principal reason for the D-NOSES project is to help people. People who are exposed to constant odours, whose impact has a direct effect on their lives and health. The innovative methods developed in the project are already based on the wide experience of our Odour and Citizen Science experts. As with anything new, it […]
The D-NOSES methodology offers an alternative and complementary approach to traditional methods for odour measurement and issues management. Like all other methods it has certain qualities that make it more, or less suitable for any particular setting. So, when is the D-NOSES methodology most appropriate? This is one of the questions that this project has […]
After a full three years of the D-NOSES project, it is time to take a look back on the work done and results so far. Delays caused by the pandemic have forced the extension of the project for 6 months, and we will be spending that time wrapping up the work and presenting the achievements […]

D-NOSES cannot do more to resolve this crisis than show appreciation for those that can, but citizen science is about using the power and spirit of communities to improve their circumstances. Specifically, D-NOSES is about defending the direct environment in which we live and spend most of our time – our homes, our neighbourhoods, our cities. Not against a direct threat like the current virus, but against odours that can be a pervasive problem with nonetheless significant health and economic effects. Odour problems that unfortunately tend to single out and victimize disproportionately the weakest among our societies. […]
