The purpose of this study was to investigate the odor arising from the Cheong-ju industrial complex area for odormaterials confirmation, and to predict the impact of the odor in the residential area using the CALPUFF Model.Among the odor causing substances in the area with a rising number of collective complaints due to odor, methylsulfide, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, n-buthylaldehyde, n-valeraldehyde and styrene were detected. Odorcausing substances detected in the area surrounding the industrial complex include ammonia, hydrogen sulfide,n-buthylaldehyde, toluene, xylene, benzene and styrene. Using the CALPUFF Model, it was predicted that 1hraverage was 3.981~7.553OU/m3 and 24hr average was 1.753~2.359OU/m3. In terms of odor intensity, thepredicted 1hr average was 0.6~0.9 and the 24hr average was 0.2~0.4.
