Odour Assessments & Odour Management
Managing odour is one of the most challenging aspects of air quality control. Odour is a highly intricate and subjective matter; what one person finds offensive may be entirely acceptable to another.
As outlined in the ‘Odour Guide for Local Authorities’, odour is described as the organoleptic quality detectable by the olfactory organ when sniffing certain volatile substances. This characteristic of odorous substances allows them to be recognised by our sense of smell.
The term 'odour' encompasses the stimuli from a chemical compound that has volatilised into the air. Our perception of that stimuli is what we refer to as odour, and we interpret its meaning accordingly. Odours can be perceived as either pleasant or unpleasant. The primary concern regarding odour lies in its potential to elicit reactions in individuals that may be deemed objectionable or offensive.
