Identification of Polluters with the Help of the Odourmap Webtool

sesion06 domingues07   In 2014 the residents of Kelsterbach suffered from an extreme annoyance due to odour impact in the residential areas. The nearby located WTP of the Stadtentwässerung Frankfurt was considered to be the source for the occurring odours.

    The operators have invested millions in the last years to optimize the plant concerning odour emissions. In this case, it was called into question if the water water treatment plant was the only source. The platform “Odourmap” was used for this study.

A New Standard to Measure Odours in Europe, the new EN 16841

 EN16841 1  The 26th of February 2015 a CEN enquiry was finally launched on two projects related with the determination of odours. The Working Group 27 of the Technical Comittee 264 of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) had the task of developing this Standard and looks like the final draft is ready.

   This European Standard will describe two methods for direct assessment of odours in ambient air and will supplement the dynamic olfactometry method described in EN 13725 which is generally only suitable for measurement of odour emissions at the source, as the practical lower detection limit is typically ≥10 ouE/m3 (according to the Final draft) and cannot be applied directly to determine odour exposure in the field.
