Abstract

Odor pollution is one of the problems that significantly affects a specific place, especially when it is concentrated and arises in that place, likewise, it is considered each of the effects it generates on the health of people and trade that promotes the economy of a city. In the city of Manta is centered the main fishing port of the coast of Manabí of international stature accompanied by beautiful beaches and excellent tourism. It has an excellent location and its main activity is fishing, so industrial companies located around Playita Mia perform tasks such as fish processing and export of finished products such as tuna. The waste from this activity generates nuisances for the population through bad odors, decreasing tourism and causing a negative socioeconomic impact on Playita Mia’s restaurants. Tourists who visit these places are uncomfortable because of the foul odors and do not always stay to enjoy the typical food offered by the cabana restaurants. In the same way, with the methods used in the investigation, it is possible to determine the level of affectation since each one has its function, for example, the exploratory method, allows us to obtain information on subjects that have not been studied much or that do not contain the adequate foundations to deepen a specific subject, as well as the descriptive method, by which the existing phenomenon that affects commerce and people's health is studied, which is odoriferous contamination and how it is generated in the place and the control it has to reduce it or the strategies that are implemented to eliminate it. In the results it can be deduced that the needs are not satisfied and that there is no help from the authorities to solve this problem.
