Volatile Organic Compounds and Odours

M-Scan has unrivalled expertise in the analysis of smells and non odorous volatile organic compounds (VOC). Using techniques like Headspace GC-MS and the more sensitive Thermal Desorption GC/MS (TD GC-MS) we have analysed samples derived from:

• stack gas analysis
• emissions from waste treatment facilities/sewage treatment works
• on plant monitoring
• laboratory chemical odours
• chemical stores
• residual solvents from printing/packaging
• foams and polymer manufacturing
• brewing
• refinery and oil storage facilities

In each case M-Scan’s expertise has assisted in identifying VOCs of concern or nuisance odours. Odourous compounds detected are compared against M-Scan’s own proprietary database of odour thresholds which lists the odour levels at which 50% of the population are aware of an odour.
