Our nose is like a "central processor" -the secret of environmental protection "special forces" olfactor

For the general public, it is still a relatively strange concept. At the end of 2018, Liu Yuchen, who entered the petrochemical industry two years later, took the initiative to apply to become a formal member of the environmental management post. One of them was to smell the odor gas of the on -site equipment. Today, with the increasingly perfect equipment of high -precision equipment, why do we need to manually discover toxic and harmful gases, and then eliminate environmental risks? Can a human nose be more sensitive than the instrument and equipment? The reporter interviewed this group of environmental protection "special forces".

Get up at more than six o'clock. After simply washing, drove about 13 kilometers from Ganjiaxiang to Jinling Petrochemical, Nanjing City. After the post, Liu Yuchen, an engineer of HSE (Safety/Environmental Protection/Professional Health), started daily on -site inspections. Of course, he also There is another identity -olfactor. The olfactoryist, as the name suggests, is a type or concentration of "sniffing" the odor of odor gas by the nose, and a professional measurement of professional measurement. At each environmental monitoring, the smell and olfactory discerning site, the nose of the olfactoryist can collect first -hand information for the law enforcement of odor pollution. Not only that, in the view of Yuan Jinhui, deputy director of the atmosphere of the Nanjing Ecological Environment Bureau, as the olfactoryist approach the public vision, the functions of the scene olfactory at the scene can be further promoted to the current "emission standard" governance system Feeling the "change of governance system, and the governance of environmental issues with people's feelings.

"Our operation department has seven sets of devices, and I basically run a round every day, which takes about two hours. In this process, I need to play the role of the olfactoryist to confirm whether there is a leakage point at the scene at the scene. , Relying on the place where the sense of smell trace the source of "running and dripping '." Liu Yuchen told reporters, "Like the medium in our production device, there are many mediums. Once leaks are not discovered in time, they may evolve into serious accidents, so the responsibility of the olfactoryist's duties may be It's critical. "

"My parents were chemical, and I did not have a smelling division at that time. But sometimes when I was chatting, I would hear that someone learned the operation of the machine pump through the nose. Listen, this is very interesting to me. "Liu Yuchen said.

It is also a olfactoryist, and it is also the "post -90s". Song Xiaojie, a cleaning workman in Yangtze Petrochemical Water Factory, after 10 years of environmental engineering, Nanjing University's masterpiece, he did not expect that two years later, he would also become a two years later. A olfactoryist. Two years after going to the post, Song Xiaojie found that he not only started the process of the workshop quickly, but also keen at the gas. The extraordinary ability made Song Xiaojie a member of the unit's olfactory team. Not only that, in Yangzi Petrochemical's own video short program "Dr. Environmental Protection", the protagonist of the first phase was him, and the message below was "Dr. Song 666" "Call for Dr. Song" ...

"In fact, most of the instruments on the market, whether it is a sensor of light or mass spectrometer, is accurately identified for a single component. However, the" odor "in the on -site inspection may include sulfur, ammonia or more. A variety of substances such as ring gas, at this time

, Identify the substances contained one by one, so as to lock the device that may be leaked. In this case, our smell is more sensitive than the instrument that can only identify a single gas content. Song Xiaoye explained to reporters.

In order to make the "nose" be able to "work" every day, many olfactoryists have more harsh requirements that are different from ordinary people in addition to staying up late. "The olfactoryist cannot smoke and drink, and spicy foods like hot pot cannot be eaten. Our daily on -site inspection is similar to a" qualitative "task, which is to identify whether there is dangerous gas leakage through the sense of smell, and perform 'quantitative' quantitative 'in execution. The task is when the general concentration needs to be smelled. On the previous day, I generally adjust my mental state to a more positive level, because the state of good or bad will also affect the task of execution. "Liu Yuchen explained to reporters explaining to reporters. road. In order to maintain a sense of smell "online", Song Xiaojie was also restrained in life. "No matter how hot, I will insist on opening the air conditioner in the living room to avoid the air conditioner in the bedroom. The olfactoryist cannot have rhinitis, so I usually pay attention to the schedule and diet. Can't make up, apply nail polish, and sometimes you can't use soap. "

In recent years, in the petrochemical industry, artificial olfactory discrimination has gradually become another traceability arrangement method of enterprises in the VOCS management and control system. The importance of positions is increasingly prominent. The reporter learned that this year's Nanjing Ecological and Environment Bureau organized a batch of "new olfactory scholars". This group of employees from Nanjing's petrochemical industry formed the nation's first petrochemical industry olfactor team. There are front -line workers and management cadres in this team. Song Xiaojie and Liu Yuchen are members of them. "This is the qualification certificate I just got the olfactoryist." Liu Yuchen told reporters with a smile, "As the public's expectations of the environment are getting higher and higher, I think our team will become larger and larger. In the future, we sniff The appearance rate of the discernicer will definitely get higher and higher. "
