You might probably have heard of the International Association of Applied Olfactometry (IAAO) that was presented for the first time in the 3rd IWA International conference on Odour and VOC's that took place in Barcelona in 2008. However after that presentation, there hasn't been much news about the IAAO. To try to fill this gap, the 29th of January, the first meeting of a new association of “odour Experts” was hold on line as an initiative of the companies Scentroid, Olfascan and Odometric.
The aim of this Association according to the promoters was to help in the development of the odour industry both technically and commercially to both share and to learn best practices in the profession by providing support for the professional development of its members.
The present study shows the development of an odour management system at the Biosolids Integral Management Centre – El Rutal which, because of the biosolids characteristics and the operational activities of the Centre could be considered as an odour potential source for the nearby locations.
How many times have we asked ourselves about the strong smell in our new car? For some people there is a terrible stink and for other people it is a very nice smell... the smell of "new".
