Odor emissions: from abatement technologies to new control strategies

Now in its fifteenth edition, the conference on odorous emissions at Ecomondo represents a reference event for the community of industry operators, where researchers, industry, Public Administration and environmental organizations bring their experiences on a topic that is becoming highly relevant in environmental planning. As usual, the conference will open with an update on the work of national and international technical committees regarding current regulations on odorous emissions. There will also be presentations by the main public research bodies working on this front, as well as case studies and best practices from public administrations, control bodies and companies developing technologies on the subject.
