La Cromatografia del gas accoppiata alla Spettrometria di mobilità ionica (GC-IMS) è presente da un po' di tempo ed è stata utilizzata in diversi progetti per rilevare l'impronta degli odori.  Recentemente, un articolo innovativo ha introdotto il pacchetto R GCIMS, un tool open-source progettato per semplificare l'elaborazione dei dati per questa tecnologia all'avanguardia.

   Il GC-IMS consente lo studio dei composti organici volatili (VOC) nei biofluidi, dando origine a quanto spesso viene definito "volatilomica". Questi composti contribuiscono ai distinti odori associati al respiro, alla saliva, al sudore e altro. In modo importante, le variazioni nella composizione di questi VOC sono indicative di diverse condizioni di salute e possono essere sfruttate per la diagnosi delle malattie e il monitoraggio dei farmaci.

   The Spanish Association of Water Supply and Sanitation (AEAS) agreed in 2018 to create a specific sub-group dedicated to odour management (SGO) within the Operations, Technology and Energy group of AEAS. Five years later, AEAS has elevated the status of the SGO to become a fully-fledged group. This is fantastic news for any odour manager interested in this sector.

   On Wednesday 11th May, the plenary meeting of the Commission V of the Spanish Association of Water Supply and Sanitation (AEAS) took place. At this meeting, it was decided that the Odour Management Subgroup would become the Odour Management Group (GGO), no longer under the umbrella of the Operations, Technology and Energy Group. This decision adds more weight and responsibility to the group of people working on various odour management projects.

 The National Science Foundation's (NSF) of the USA is launching its Convergence Accelerator annual research grants with the collaboration of two Swedish research agencies. This year is, however, special because there will be funds for projects related to Real-World Chemical Sensing Applications for the first time. Many funds, up to 750.000 dollars for 48 projects.

   This grant is offered to projects related to tools, technologies, and applications to address challenges in chemical sensing. In particular, this grant is focused on the following topics:
