Odours
Odours are challenging to assess, due to difficulties in measuring them and their inherently subjective nature.
Air Quality Consultants has experience over many years in this field. We apply a range of approaches, including a desk-based odour risk assessment, sniff tests and dispersion modelling. The dispersion modelling is supported by at-source monitoring of odour emissions when appropriate.
