Odours: control nuisance and improve indoor air quality
Across a wide range of sectors, odorous compounds can accumulate in indoor air. Examples include volatile substances from paints and hair products in salons, disinfectants in healthcare settings, body odours in gyms, and odour emissions in warehouses and production environments.
Effective control of odour nuisance starts with understanding the sources and implementing the right measures.
What is the impact of odour nuisance?
Odours are caused by volatile substances in the air and can lead to nuisance, stress-related complaints and disruption of behaviour and activities. Common symptoms include headaches, nausea and irritation.
The level of nuisance depends on concentration, duration of exposure and individual sensitivity. In healthcare facilities and other sensitive environments, odours can also affect the well-being of patients, visitors and staff.
How we solve it
Effective odour control starts with adequate ventilation and source reduction. However, when odours disperse throughout a space, additional air filtration can be used to reduce the concentration of odour-carrying substances in indoor air.
By continuously filtering the air, the background concentration of odorous substances is reduced and air quality recovers more quickly after peak loads. This contributes to a comfortable and controllable indoor environment for employees, patients and visitors.
"What an improvement! As soon as the air cleaner is switched on, we notice the difference immediately. It makes it much more pleasant to work here."
