Assessment & control of industrial
and environmental odours
Odour management and assessment are
critical considerations for many industrial
sectors that are required to minimise their
risk of odour pollution and comply with
planning and permitting regulations such
as the Environment Agency’s H4 Odour
Management Guide.
Odour impact assessments
We o昀昀er odour impact assessments in support
of bespoke environmental permit and planning
applications which includes:
Spectrum’s independent consultancy
department can deliver a variety of
accredited odour impact assessment and
odour management plan services tailored to
resolve odour nuisance cases and provide
guidance through the environmental
permitting or planning process.
∙ Odour Dispersion Modelling Assessments
provide a quantitative measurement of the
odour impact of a proposed or existing site
on the nearby environment.
∙ The results of the assessment help establish
that the odour risk is below regulatory limits
leading to the approval of planning or
permitting consents.
∙ Odour Impact Assessment and olfactory
昀椀eld surveys measure the real-life odour
impact of a site on the surrounding areas.
∙ Assessments of this nature provide an
evidenced based approach to establishing
the true Impact of a site and can be
combined with complaint analysis.
∙ Such assessments are conducted in
accordance with the Institute of Air Quality
Management guidance on the assessment
of odour for planning.
∙ Ambient air monitoring assessments use
real time analytical instruments to identify
and quantify the levels of speci昀椀c odorous
compounds along a site boundary at
sensitive receptor locations.
Typical applications include:
∙ Site boundary monitoring
∙ Odour nuisance investigations
∙ Odour impact assessments in support of
planning and permit applications
