The organizing committee of the 7^th International Conference on Environmental Odour Monitoring & Control (NOSE2020), that will be held in Sicily on September 2020, has decided to postpone the paper submission deadline date until 16^th of April.

   Regarding CoronaVirus outbreak (COVID-19) in Italy, the organizing committee is confident that the emergency related to the virus will be over by September, so the NOSE2020 schedule is currently unchanged. This committee is monitoring carefully the situation and they will keep all the interested to attend informed in the next months.

   The Air Quality and odor Control Committee of the WEF met online last Tuesday, March 17, 2020 from 12:30 to 1:30 PM Eastern. This meeting took place just after the unfortunate cancellation of the biannual Odors and Air Pollutants Conference 2020 of the Water Environmental Federation (WEF) that was going to take place in Cincinnati, Ohio from March 15 to March 18, 2020.

   This on-line meeting was attended by 34 of the 75 members of the Air Quality and Odor Control (AQOC) Committee that were expected to attend the WEF event that very same day. One of the items discussed was to make available at least some of the technical presentations.
