The 4th IWA Conference on Odours and Vocs, Emission, control techniques, dispersion, measurements and impact Emission, control techniques, dispersion, measurements and impact, will take place in Vitoria, Brazil, from the 17th to the 21st of October 2011.
In the last meeting in Barcelona, the new location of the next Odours and Vocs conference was announced. For the first time in these special conferences, South America was selected as location for the next event.
This time, cientifics, technical experts, privat companies and legal regulators will meet in the lovely city of Vitoria in Brazil. This conference is set as a reference joining key place to discuss the fascinating world of the odours in our environment.

An increasing demand for electronic instruments that can mimic biological olfaction processes led to the development of electronic nose and tongue systems, that is, intelligent chemical sensor arrays for odor classification and/or gas discrimination. Such systems include the materials to build the sensing elements, the device architecture, and intelligent signal processing methods. Nanotechnology has enabled the development of handheld electronic olfaction systems that are promising non-invasive health monitoring tools, as well as environmental testing and quality control devices.
This conference will focus on the latest technological and scientific advances in the fields of management, characterization, minimization and abatement of industrial wastes (wastewater, off-gas and solid waste). Contributions dealing with energy-efficient and waste-to-value processes will be specially acknowledged.
