Abstract: ABSTRACT AN ODOR DISPERSION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR OPEN-AIR MARKETS The present invention discloses an odor dispersion control system for open-air markets that detects malodorous gases and ambient conditions, processes fused sensor data, and dispenses a biodegradable odor-neutralizing formulation through directional micro-mist nozzles. Odor sensing units detect ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, trimethylamine, or volatile organic compounds, while elevated environmental sensing units measure wind speed, wind direction, temperature, or humidity. A control unit computes an odor dispersion likelihood index representing a predicted plume trajectory and evaluates whether detected odor concentration exceeds a threshold while dispersion is directed toward a populated area. When both conditions are met, the control unit activates independently addressable downwind nozzles along a market perimeter to form an olfactory interception curtain that neutralizes airborne odor molecules with droplets sized to limit surface wetting.
