  Happyholidays2020 We hope you spend a wonderful time with your family and friends on these special dates. Many things have happened along this year 2019, many conferences and initiatives have been taking place around the world. We would like to thank to those of you, who contributed one way or another to spread the word for a globe with a better odour management.

  Along this year we have posted over 100 articles with news about conferences, standards, events, courses and new regulations in different parts of the world. Only in 2019 we got over 49.000 pages viewed and to date, we have over 2000 subscribers in any of our 12 mailing lists. All of this in our free time, because we post in olores.org just for fun. We actually do environmental consultancy for a living.
