wg41   The Technical Committee 264 (TC264) on Air Quality has decided to grant an extension to the work developed by the experts on Working Group 41 (WG41) focused on Instrumental Odour Monitoring Systems (IOMS) by activating a work item. That means that the group will have 3 more years to develop this standard.

   The first meeting of this group took place three and a half years ago in Antwerp, Belgium. Much work has been done during this time by the around 15 experts that usually meet in these 2-days sessions that are hold usually three times a year. In addition, there are also Task Group meetings planned around the year and videomeetings hold from time to time. So there is a lot of work and a lot of hours here to develop a standard.

oic separation distances   A very interesting and open access paper will be published this month in the Journal of Environmental Management. This paper is signed by the well-known experts Marlon Brancher, Martin Piringer, Andreas F.Grauer and Günther Schauberger and deals with the interesting topic of setting up separation distances to avoid odour impacts.

   This study shows that the use of different odour impact criteria (OIC) produces different separation distances between odour sources and residential areas for an equivalent level of protection.

dnoses case studies   D-NOSES stands for Distributed Network for Odour Sensing, Empowerment and Sustainability. This 3 year-long project is supported by International Associations, experts in citizen science, odour and sustainability experts, local administrations and public bodies. The important part of validation has just commenced with cases studies in Portugal, Spain, Greece and Bulgaria.

   This DNOSES project will study the use of mapping odour annoyance to describe and study the impact of this environmental vector. The idea is to launch several case studies to see how better use this tool that links odour with annoyance.
