deodorisation
Removing unwanted odors
Deodorisation is the process of removing or neutralising unpleasant smells.
Industrial deodorisation treats wastewater, refines oils, or cleans manufacturing facilities.
Household deodorisation might involve baking soda in a refrigerator or air fresheners in a bathroom.
The spelling is British; Americans write deodorization.
