Long-term　monitoring　of　volatile　sulfur　compounds　(VSCs)　released　at　the　water-air　interface　from　different　treatment　units　of　an　anaerobic/oxic　(A/O)　wastewater　treatment　plant　(WWTP)　was　carried　out　to　assess　the　temporal　and　spatial　emission　characteristics　of　VSCs,　to　explore　relationships　between　wastewater　quality　and　VSC　release.　The　VSC　from　non-aerated　and　aerated　units　were　collected　using　dynamic　and　static　chambers,　respectively,　and　determined　using　gas　chromatography.　The　VSC　emission　fluxes　diminished　in　the　order　of　primary　sedimentation　tank　(PST)　＞　anaerobic　areas　(ANA)　＞　oxic　section　1　(OX1).　VSCs　were　not　detected　in　the　oxic　section　2　(OX2),　the　oxic　areas　section　3　(OX3),　and　the　final　setting　basin　(FSB).　Release　capacities　of　VSCs　descended　in　the　order　of　summer　＞　fall　＞　spring　＞　winter,　with　July,　August,　and　September　being　the　months　with　the　highest　VSC　release　capacities.　VSC　emission　fluxes　correlated　well　with　wastewater　temperatures,　sulfate　concentrations,　and　COD.　VSC　emission　flux　empirical　equations　based　on　wastewater　temperature,　sulfate　concentrations,　and　COD　were　established.　Based　on　the　established　VSC　emission　empirical　equation,　a　control　strategy　to　reduce　the　operating　costs　of　deodorization　facilities　was　proposed.　This　strategy　is　economically　efficient　and　reduces　the　consumption　of　electrical　energy.
