Odour Pollution Identification, Assessment and Control
Identifying the sources that cause odour, assessing them using sensory and analytical methods, modelling environmental impacts and developing appropriate control measures.
- Identification of odour sources and the processes that generate odour.
- Site investigations and assessment of odour complaints.
- Investigation of production processes, storage areas, treatment units and diffuse sources.
- Sensory assessments and field observations.
- Identification of odour-causing chemical compounds.
- Comparison of measured concentrations with the odour threshold values of the relevant compounds.
- Assessment of the influence of meteorological conditions and topography on odour transport.
- Odour dispersion modelling.
- Investigation of impacts on residential areas and other sensitive receptors.
- Assessment of process improvement, enclosed system, local exhaust ventilation and treatment options.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of the measures implemented.
