The organizers of the EN 13725 proficiency test have decided to postpone the Interlaboratory Comparison for Olfactometry (ILC2020) due to recent developments in regard to Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).
In these unprecedented times and taking into account that many participants are affected by staff shortages or temporary closure, the German company Olfasense has decided to reschedule this year's edition of our EN 13725 proficiency test to September 2020.
Today WEF has decided not to hold the Odors and Air Pollutants Conference 2020. Recent developments with the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and the importance of minimizing the spread of the illness were key factors in the final decision to cancel. This biannual Odors and Air Pollutants Conference 2020 of the Water Environmental Federarion (WEF) was going to take place in Cincinnati, Ohio from March 15 to March 18, 2020.
The expansion of COVID-19 has also made it impossible to deliver a high-quality program and networking opportunities as promised. Additionally, concerns expressed by conference participants and recent travel restrictions by organizations and government agencies contributed to this decision.
The Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) is the European Commission's primary source of results from the projects funded by the EU's framework programmes for research and innovation (FP1 to Horizon 2020). Recently CORDIS has published some news about the real-time sampling and monitoring system developed on EU project ODORPREP.
The system incorporates feedback from local people with fast laboratory testing, meeting the latest EU standards on what constitutes a bad smell in the air. The Italian company LabService Analytica developed and tested the system in its home country and is now selling its system to local authorities and environmental consultancies.
This category will include the latest advances in standardization.
