Odour Control

Odour is a very subjective discipline with many sources and multiple methods of assessment. It can arise as complaints of nuisance, annoyance, disamenity and inducing health effects.

Different situations, such as locations, types of odour pattern and source, require bespoke investigation and monitoring as well as reporting and assessment.

Historically, odour has often been an overlooked subject that later causes issues leading to complaints.

With increasing awareness in recent years, odour is becoming a hot topic in the UK, with more developments being objected to due to potential impacts upon local amenity.
