How often have you walked down the street and smelled something foul? Have you ever wished there was a way to report offensive public smells? Well, now you can! PublicStuff, the innovative web and mobile based public service request management system, has once again paved the way in technology by creating the first ever odor detection app, PublicSmells.
How is this possible? PublicStuff program developers were able to create the app
by analyzing the bio chemistry and makeup of specific odors. They noticed that different odors had different
chemical makeups. They were then able to analyze the chemical makeups closely
and apply an identifying code to it. The code is what allows users to, in
return, report the smell and categorize it accordingly. By applying an identifying code to each smell,
users are now able to automatically report and categorize issues from a set of
several hundred common smells.
PublicStuff CEO and founder, Lily Liu, said the inspiration
for developing the PublicSmell app came from the public itself. “We noticed
that with an increase in pollution and changing urban development landscapes,
more and more people were becoming concerned with the ‘smell’ of their city”
said Liu. “The Atlantic Cities, a premier publication in urban and city
development, even came up with a ranking for the top smelliest cities in theU.S. After reviewing these trends, we knew that public odors were definitely
contributors to community quality of life issues. As such, we felt it was the
natural choice to expand our services to include the reporting of public
smells.”
To utilize the service, users just have to open the PublicSmell
application on their mobile phone and click on the auto-smell widget. The smell
will then be recorded and directed to the correct city department, just like
any service request issue reported through PublicStuff.
