Dynamic olfactometry studies, based EN 13725 standard, have become the main tool for the assessment and control of odour emission from odorous processes. Neutralization has been widely used in many plants to try to decrease this impact.

   In the present study, different oxidizing agents for odour abatement were applied in a wastewater plant from an industrial process. Dynamic olfactometry have been used to assess the odour efficiency abatement rate of these agents.

   LabService Analytica , OdorPrep ™ producer, is organizing for the very first time a proficiency test for Dinamic Olfactometry through its InterCinD Division Accredited ISO EN IEC 17043:2010.

   InterCinD is already accredited for PTs for dioxins and PCBs so they have a broad experience in organizing this kind of tests.  This Proficiency Test is organized following the Accredited PTP consolidated procedures and according to the European Standard EN13725.  The organizers are encouraging other labs to participate to get the needed accreditation for the next edition.
