On July 22, 2020, the Ministry of the Environment of Chile (MMA Chile) published in its Official Journal the "Extract of the draft standard for the emission of pollutants in pig farms that, due to their odors, generate discomfort and constitute a risk to the quality of life of the population".
This preliminary draft will be available for public consultation, a stage in which citizens will be able to make their observations by entering the portal www.consultasciudadanas.mma.gob.cl, with a period of 60 working days, which will be counted after the State of Disaster that applies in the country has been lifted.

Analysis of international legislation related to odour impact management shows a wide variety of approaches and limits to tackle odour emissions. One of the most common approaches is setting a limit in odour units at the receptor.
Im Dezember 2019 veröffentlichte das europäische IPPC-Büro zwei neue BVT-Merkblätter: für die Nahrungsmittel-, Getränke- und Milchindustrie und für die Abfallverbrennung. Diese beiden besonderen BVT-Merkblätter haben etwas gemeinsam; beide enthalten den Geruchsmanagement-plan (OMP) als eine der besten verfügbaren Techniken (BVT) zur Geruchsminderung und/oder –überwachung.
