Odours Overview

Smoking chimneys

M-Scan has unrivalled expertise in the analysis of odours using Thermal Desorption GC/MS (TD GC-MS). This technique is used for the analysis of outdoor air quality including:

  • stack gas analysis
  • emissions from sewage treatment work
  • abattoir

as well as the analysis of indoor air quality from:

  • manufacturing plant
  • laboratories
  • restaurants
  • offices
  • domestic property

and samples from transport (cars, aircraft and boats).

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.
