Trying to figure out how to get rid of that pesky farm smell?

Penn State, as a large and complex university, has a variety of centers, institutes, and laboratories dedicated to many different forms of research.  But who would have known that we have one dedicated to assessing smells?  Yes, our College of Agriculture has its own Odor Assessment Laboratory whose mission is "To study air emissions for the development of improved agricultural management strategies."  In other words, help figure out ways to alleviate that pesky manure smell we all hate about living in a rural area like State College.

Here's a video about the lab's work.
