[en] The study is conducted in the frame of a programme of monitoring of all landfill sites in Wallonia, which was extended to all biowaste treatment facility. The "odour" part is assigned to ULg. The present report concerns more particularly a first campaign on the composting site of Farciennes. The report firstly introduces the composting process itself so as the potential odour sources on a compost site. Besides the usual field inspection technique, the research group has applied a dynamic olfactometry on the basis of samples collected through an flux chamber placed on the compost windrows.
