Our odour acuity training & certification services provide a standardised framework for assessing an individual’s odour sensitivity to the reference compound N-butanol as indicated by Defra’s odour guidance (2010). The assessments are typically carried out over a single two-hour period in accordance with the panellist requirements of BS EN 13725.

Following the assessment, each individual’s sensitivity to the reference odorant is calculated and a certificate is issued. Confirmation of an individual’s sensitivity to odour is a valuable tool for many professionals including:

• Environmental Health Officers 
• Any operator responsible for odour evaluation within their organisation
• Environmental and Air quality consultants conducting odour impact assessments (IAQM odour guidance)

Exploring the processes which take place on the sites, the areas in which potential odours can arise and the potential mitigation or management procedures often used to reduce the impact of these sites. There is also discussion on the management of waste sites with planning and the processes around dealing with when a site is causing a nuisance. The session will cover a range of different waste sites including, landfills, civil amenity sites/household recycling centres, waste transfer stations, composting facilities, and more. These sites will be detailed looking at how the factors which would influence complaints, frequency, intensity, duration, differ from each of these types of sites and how some practices may result in these factors having more of an impact.

This mini-webinar has been prepared as a result of concern about the potential contributions of PM_2.5 from commercial kitchens to the total PM_2.5 burden. The webinar sets the scene with reference to PM_2.5 inventories and restaurant numbers in London and provides information on PM_2.5 in  some other large conurbations. It sets out the main causes of kitchen activity linked to fine particulates derived from smoke and grease. The webinar then demonstrates how, by designing, operating and maintaining the kitchen ventilation system in accordance with the EMAQ guide, the emission of fine particulate can be minimised.
