Odor emissions: from abatement technologies to new control strategies

The Ecomondo Odor Emissions conference (at its fourteenth edition) is a flagship event for the community of most important industry and academic players. Researchers, Industry, Public administration and Environmental Agencies exchange their different experiences on a topic that is becoming of great relevance in environmental planning. As usual, the workshop will be opened with an update on the work of national and international technical committees on odor regulations.
The following are planned: the interventions of the main public research bodies operating in this sector; the presentation of case studies and best practices by public administrations, control agencies and companies that develop technologies on the topic.
