What are the latest technology developments for measuring nuisance odours? How are odorant emissions characterized? What are the novel strategies for measuring the impact of odorant emissions on the surrounding community? What solutions allow the general public to contribute to air quality improvement strategies?
The conference is intended to stimulate dialogue amongst various stakeholders and to showcase innovative and successful strategies for odour and air emissions mitigation.
