In October 2016 we organized the first Odour Talks. The idea was to select key experts in several fields of odour management and to let them present a work of interest on the subject. To make this experience available to the rest of the world, we did a webcast online of the Talks. Some people subscribed to the webcast sessions and they could do online questions to the speakers. A few months after this experience, we have decided to make the videos available to everyone, so here you have the first Odour Talk by Mr. Hugo van Belois.

  Mr van Belois is an environmental engineer that studied in the Wageningen university and who has worked in the field of odour /odour nuisance in the Netherlands for over 25 years. He has worked both in the consultancy and with the government. The last five years he has worked as an independent consultant on the field of Air quality and a healthy living environment.

   The 19^th Conference Odour and Emissions of Plastic Materials will be held the 21st and the 22nd of March 2017 in Kassel, Germany. This conference started in 1999 as a forum where all people interested in odour and emissions of plastics in interiors could meet and discuss about these topics.
