Abstract
One of the mainly discussed environmental issues the odour pollution. The
presence of odour existing in the campus especially in the toilet due to the daily activity
of the toilet; urine and faeces, animal waste and food waste was identified through
observation and survey conducted to the user. However, none of the study is conducted
to control the odour problem in the toilet except the daily cleaning of the toilet by the
cleaner. The good condition after cleaning cannot last long due to continuous usage of
the toilet. So, this study is conducted to control odour in the toilet and provide a
comfortable usage of toilet to the user for a longer time by using odour removing
membarane “Deodoratex”. This study is conducted by using two different types of
Deodoratex ; Type 03 and Type 32 and each of the type will be used to identified 3
types of gas concentration in the toilet; Odour, Ammonia and Hydrogen Sulfide. This
concentration will be obtained by using SM100 Field Olfactometer and TR8
Odotracker through field assessment. In addition, this study also conducted to identify
the effectiveness of the different type of Deodoratex to remove the concentrations in
vertical application. The Type 03 Deodoratex is more effective to remove odour when
hung vertically.
