Diesel Odor sampling and analysis techniques and procedures using the Arthur D. Little, Inc. Diesel Odor Analysis System (DOAS) have been evaluated. Reproducibility of ± 0.1 TIA unit at the 2.0 TIA level and ± 0.2 TIA unit at the 1.5 TIA level are achievable if a consistent, well defined sampling procedure is used. Significant odor sample trap breakthrough and sample volume effects have been isolated. This study indicates that care must be given to defining a standard odor sampling configuration and procedure.
