The problem of air quality and its impact on the environment and, above all, human health has been an issue in various circles for years. Awareness of the problems associated with waste management and the negative impacts of waste processing is a crucial element in managing this sector. An important element of such activities is the odour nuisance that is perceived (signalled by complaints) in municipal waste management. A brief review of the odour-causing substances most frequently emitted, during treatment, from municipal waste landfills was carried out. The impact of odours on human health is demonstrated, and methods for assessing and quantifying these emissions are discussed. Attention was drawn to the lack of normative-legal regulations on odour nuisance.
