Odour, dust & air

Measure the nuisance. Track the pattern. Create the evidence.

Odour and dust are the most complained-about environmental issues after noise. We help you measure what the nose detects and the eye sees.

What you can smell, what you can see, what you can measure

Odour and dust together account for the vast majority of non-noise complaints made to the EPA about licensed sites. But odour is subjective. Dust is intermittent. We help bridge the gap between human perception and objective measurement.

From the nose to the sensor

Deposited Dust Monitoring

Standard Bergerhoff gauges deployed for monthly or quarterly collection.

Real-Time PM10 / PM2.5

Continuous particulate monitoring with remote data access and automated alerts.

Odour Observation Logging

Structured odour diary systems correlated with weather data.

Weather Station Deployment

Wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity and rainfall. Essential context.

FIDOL Assessment Support

Frequency, Intensity, Duration, Offensiveness and Location — the EPA’s AG9 framework.

Pre/Post-Development Baselines

For planning applications, EPA licence applications and community agreements.

Odour Complaint Chronology
Dust & Air Quality Evidence File

A smell without a wind direction is just a smell

An odour complaint is a starting point. But without weather data, it is difficult to trace. Our monitoring combines calibrated instrumentation with structured observation protocols, creating time-stamped, weather-correlated data that can be placed alongside complaint records.
