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.
