AXIOM ENVIRONMENTAL
In-Field Olfactometry Reporting
Malodour emissions from waste-processing are often a contentious and litigious issue. A complaint can be validated on the subjective opinions of a single complainant with no scientific basis other than the olfactory senses of the individual. Axiom Environmental offers a full in-field assessment and reporting system in a bid to partially rectify this -often biased- situation.
Trained operatives conduct a full inspection of the processing facility and measure migrating emissions, using the latest in-field olfactometry equipment (Nasal Ranger – St. Croix), in order to introduce some empirical data to quantify any identified arisings.
The service includes (but is not confined to):-
- Initial site-visit to determine a suitable framework for assessment.
- A prescribed duration of olfactometry and level recording.
- A full written report – including the accrued data and general findings.
- Recommendations for abatement and future SOPs.
- Attendance at meetings with any relative authorities or agencies as well as representation of a company or organisation involved in public-liaison or planning presentation.
This service has been used extensively in the UK, Ireland and West Africa and has often proved imperative in the successful defence of a complaint or non-compliance.
