Environmental odour news

In mid-February 2009, the Haifa Magistrates Court convicted Frutarom Industries Ltd. of causing severe odor nuisances, in violation of the Business Licensing Law and the Abatement of Nuisances Law. Frutarom is a private company situated in Haifa Bay which produces raw materials and flavor and fragrance extracts for the food industry. Following a plea bargain agreement, Frutarom was fined a million and a half shekels and signed a financial obligation to refrain from a similar offense in the sum of 3 million shekels for three years. In addition, the plea bargain agreement calls on Frutarom to regulate all odor nuisances in its bounds and to plan and implement a program for the reduction of air pollution and odor nuisances, which will include, inter alia, compliance with best available technologies (BAT), implementation of leak detection and repair (LDAR), and monitoring and sampling. The company is expected to invest millions of shekels in the implementation of the program. The Ministry ...

How do you tell someone that they smell? And I don't mean good, I mean bad. Really, really bad. I blogged about this at my LJ a few months back... but the problem lingers still. I like this person. He's, good people and good company. He just SMELLS so bloody bad. There have been times that I've breathed too deeply, and had to bite back my gag reflex. And he's pretty clean. He seems to wash his hair more often than I do. I'm pretty sure it's an environmental thing. Meaning that his clothes cohabitate in a small apartment with various animals. Enclosed spaces, and lots of people/creatures tend to do that to you. I'm torn. do I just leave it alone, or do I bring it up "yo, dude. you stink" What do you think?

If you are a cat owner then you will probably be aware of the problem of how to clean cat urine and removing cat urine odours. It’s not just a question of mopping it up and going over it with some warm soapy water, this may seem to clean it up but it is just a quick fix and you will soon have that cat urine smell coming through again. The main problem of removing cat urine odours and the cat urine itself (especially on soft furnishings and carpets) is that it is usually not detected right away. It’s often not until you get that familiar cat urine smell coming through that you realise that your cat has not been using its litter box, but has been urinating where it should not. If you do not find any places where your cat has urinated straight away then this is when the problem of that awful cat urine smell begins. If cat urine is allowed to dry it starts to form into crystals, these crystals are what makes the removal of the cat urine smell so difficult. You may think t...

A $675,000 odour control unit installed at a Peerless Holdings Pty Ltd rendering plant was intended to showcase the technology but instead led to a Vic Supreme Court finding the supplier should pay Peerless at least $1,536,480 in damages after misleading and deceptive conduct. Justice Hartley Hansen this month found equipment supplier Environmental Systems Pty Ltd had breached the terms of its contract with Peerless Holdings Pty Ltd and engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct. The judge held Peerless was entitled to additional damages for “the lost benefit” it could have derived from buying an alternative type of afterburner, with a hearing slated for June 23 on this. Peerless had opted to replace the existing afterburner at its large Laverton North rendering plant in part because the old afterburner was struggling to handle increased capacity. The company opted for the regenerative thermal oxidiser (RTO) proposed by Environmental Systems to control odours because it e...

What does your marketing program smell like?   If you have difficulty answering that question, you need to get up to speed on the powerful impact that’s possible by activating your customers’ olfactory nerves. (Web-only marketers won’t have to worry about this yet, but retail marketers and even those who use print media, direct mail, and the like can read on.) We started thinking about this topic while perusing Emotional Branding by Marc Gobe. This book was published in 2001 - before neuromarketing had become a buzzword - but has plenty of insight into brand strategies that tap into the subconscious. When it comes to smells, Gobe thinks every brand should have one. He points out the success of firms who incorporate scent into their branding approach to build a deeper emotional bond with the consumer. Thomas Pink, a London-based shirt seller, scents its stores with “line-dried linen.” Even individual spaces, like sections of a department store or individual displays, may get a scent boo...

Khar taps spew dirty water SUKHADA TATKE, TNN MUMBAI: When 33-year-old Khar resident Tarana Masand noticed a strange smell in the water she was drinking, she thought it was a temporary problem. It was only when the odour started getting stronger and the water started tasting unpleasant over several days that she realised something was seriously wrong. Masand, a resident of Alka building on 15th Road, Khar (W), has been purchasing cans of mineral water for the past two days.  But she is not the only one in the locality faced with this problem of turbid water. Over 50 buildings spread across 12th, 15th, 16th and 17th Roads in Khar have been facing this problem on and off since the beginning of this year. Residents allege that, despite several complaints to the ward office, the civic body has not acted promptly.  "The water is unfit for human consumption. It emits a very strong odour and tastes dirty. Even boiling the water does not help,'' said Masand. "At first, we tho...

Can your unique 'smell' — what your body smells like — change naturally? And when would this happen? I thought maybe when you were a baby and maybe puberty, but would it change if you were in love too? —Lara If love really does change everything including body odour, women are more likely to sniff it out than men. Our personal odour is as unique as our DNA — in fact, our 'odour print' is determined partly by a group of genes on the sixth chromosome related to immune function which are known as the major histocompatibility complex. But while our genetically-founded odour print remains unchanged through our lifetime, our scent has other layers of complexity and people emit different odours as they age. Anyone who has spent time around active teenage boys will agree that hormonal changes play a big part in the way we smell. "Diet also influences the way we smell," says Dr Charles Wysocki, a behavioural neuroscientist at  Monell Chemical Senses Center  in Philadel...

Odour causes concern ROSANNA DALIBOR CONCERN and annoyance about an unpleasant odour believed to be emanating from the Busselton Wastewater Treatment Plant off Queen Elizabeth Avenue has prompted a Busselton resident to seek action to remedy the problem. Ian Robinson, who lives on Rendezvous Road, about 300-400m from the plant, told the Mail he and his neighbours had experienced a “foul smell” on and off on a daily basis since before Christmas and wanted the problem to be addressed. He believed the problem was an “overloaded” sewage volume, caused by the influx of people and housing growth in the last few years, as well as holiday visitors, in combination with the summer heat. He said the smell usually occurred in the early morning, around noon, in the evening when he was having dinner, and at night. It wasn’t nice to spend time either inside or outside on his property, where he’s lived for 16 years. In recent weeks Mr Robertson has been in contact with Vasse MLA Troy Buswell’s office,...

Odour lingers in medieval bottle of scent When the tiny stopper is delicately eased free, a mere wisp of scent imprisoned for over 650 years is released. In a unique experiment, scientists at the L’Oreal perfume institute in Paris tried to analyse the ingredients of a perfume whose precious container survived the Black Death, which annihilated a third of the population of Europe. The young Jewish woman who wore the pretty silver bottle dangling on a chain at her waist was probably murdered or driven out of Erfurt, the ancient capital of Thuringia, east of Frankfurt, a victim of savage pogroms as communities sought somebody to blame for the unstoppable march of the plague. There was too little left to analyse the components of the perfume, though the scientists proved the wadding packed into the bottle was cotton, not wool or flax.  — © Guardian Newspapers Limited, 2009

Men Smell of Cheese and Women of Onions Swiss Study Picks Out Gender Differences in Body Odor By ANDY COGHLAN Little girls may be made of sugar and spice and all things nice, but their armpits smell of onions. And while free of slug or snail odours, men's armpits pack a powerful cheesy whiff. A team of researchers found marked differences in the sweat from men and women. "Men smell of...  (ABC News Photo Illustration) That's the conclusion of research in Switzerland that involved taking armpit sweat samples from 24 men and 25 women after they had spent time in a sauna or ridden an exercise bike for 15 minutes. The researchers found marked differences in the sweat from men and women. "Men smell of cheese, and women of grapefruit or onion," says Christian Starkenmann of Firmenich, a company in Geneva that researches flavours and perfumes for food and cosmetics companies. The team found that the women's armpit sweat contained relatively high levels of an odourle...

NY state says sewage plant is a rotten neighbor By MARCUS FRANKLIN Associated Press Writer The Associated Press NEW YORK - A sewage processing plant that nearby residents say produces a stench variously described as raw sewage, feces, manure and burning flesh was sued Thursday by the state attorney general.The odors emanating from the privately run New York Organic Fertilizer Co. in the Bronx violate state air pollution laws, according to the lawsuit filed by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in state Supreme Court. The lawsuit seeks to force the company to stop the smell."The stench has plagued the community, making simple activities like opening windows, walking to school or enjoying a local park not only unpleasant but an actual health risk," Cuomo said in a statement. "NYOFCo's owners have blithely allowed the facility to continue to spew noxious odors into the community."The plant and its parent company, Houston-based Synagro Technologies Inc., on Thursday deni...

Residents' complaints net convictions, $80,000 fines Complaints from Musselman's Lake residents three years ago have resulted in convictions and more than $80,000 in fines for two companies.John Bolender and his company, Oakridge-Terra Inc., pleaded guilty to charges of operating a waste disposal site without a certificate of approval and must pay more than $50,000 in fines. Mr. Bolender and his company also pleaded guilty to charges of discharging/causing/permitting the discharge of a contaminant, namely an odour, into the environment that causes or was likely to cause an adverse effect."I guess it's illegal," Mr. Bolender said. "I pled guilty to these charges because I didn't have the money to fight it."The co-accused, Turtle Island Waste and Recycling Inc., was also charged with, and pleaded guilty to, the same offences, as well as failing to comply with the company's own certificate of approval. Turtle Island was slapped with more than $30...

Mayor: New York's maple syrup mystery smell solved T   NEW YORK (Reuters) - A mysterious, maple syrup-like odour that has periodically wafted over New York City since October 2005 has been linked to New Jersey fragrance processing plants, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Thursday. Fragrance and food additive factories in nearby New Jersey where fenugreek seeds are processed are the "probable source" of the odour, Bloomberg told a news conference at City Hall. The odour has attracted media attention and hundreds of complaints from city residents. "Given the evidence, I think it's safe to say that the 'Great Maple Syrup Mystery' has finally been solved," Bloomberg said. The city had assured residents that the odour was not harmful, but it was not able to explain its source until now. The mystery was solved after city agencies matched complaints by their geographic location against information about winds and atmospheric conditions. "The he...

Massive lawsuit over for CVRD     BY SARAH SIMPSON, THE CITIZEN   A Supreme Court judge has dismissed a $100 million lawsuit against the Cowichan Valley Regional District. In 2002, Westcoast Landfill Diversion Corporation had filed suit against the District alleging it and a trio of its directors illegally interfered with business at their Herhof in-vessel composting facility in the region's South End. It was clear to neighbours that the company's operations created foul odours that were an ongoing nuisance and that Westcoast's actions interfered with neighbours' ability to enjoy their own properties. More than 194 complaints from residents and tourists were received by the CVRD and by the Ministry of Environment, where they were met with an open ear and a shared concern. For years the CVRD has maintained that neighbours had every right to be concerned about the safety of their water supply and about environmental contamination -- something which the CVRD's staff to...
