There are simple ways to reduce or eliminate odour and/or other air emissions, including...
- When working with solvents and odorous materials, use a fume hood or spray booth to reduce the vapours leaving the area.
- Closing doors and windows of the premises when using odorous materials.
- Using low odour products and materials.
- Minimising the quantities of solvents and other volatile materials used.
- Seeking advice on reducing odour emissions or other such air emission issue.
- Remembering that odours can be irritating to neighbours and other commercial/industrial premises in the vicinity, so improve communication with neighbours to avoid conflict.
- Improving housekeeping.
- For dust, improve communication with neighbours and 'damp down' dusty surfaces/materials.
Many air emissions may be negligible in terms of quantity, but they may still provide an odour that is irritating to others nearby.
