The 27th of August 2020 took place the kickoff meeting of the group dealing with the development of the first international guideline on the assessment of odour exposure by using dispersion modelling. To date, there are already 36 professionals from Belgium, Italy, France, Chile, Ecuador, Australia, Brazil, United Kingdom, Ireland, China, Spain, USA, India, Peru, Qatar and Austria participating in this initiative.
This development is being led by Dr. Günther Schauberger, professor of the University of Veterinary Medicine of Vienna, and Ms. Jennifer Barclay, principal scientist of Atmospheric Science Global (ASG) in New Zealand. The list of volunteers in this initiative at this stage is the following:
Air curtains are widely used across the industrial sector — for warehouse doors, ovens, continuous dryers, or for air sealing and climate control when a heating module is included. They also help contain odours within production areas and prevent the loss of clean, conditioned air. Air curtains are an effective solution for odour confinement in food processing plants or waste management facilities, where it is essential that odours remain contained within designated zones.
