Odours that are generated from unknown sources can be particularly problematic to identify and therefore require a tailored approach to any sampling and analysis strategy.
Poor air quality within the indoor environment can result in occupants experiencing a number of symptoms, ranging from fatigue to shortness of breath.
Approximately 15% of all odour investigations do not positively identify the source of the odour for a number of reasons. Many odour occurrences are sporadic in nature which adds further complexity to the investigation.
Actions and adviceOdour investigations should follow a logical process of elimination using a combination of site investigations and appropriate sampling and analysis techniques.
It is common that a number of site visits may be required to positively identify the source of an odour.
