UNSW Air Quality and Odour Laboratory

Using the advanced analytical capabilities of the Odour Laboratory we offer a range of services for analysing gaseous emissions. Examples of common analyses we conduct include:

  • Characterisation of Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) quantified using US EPA TO-15 on sorbent tubes  - options exist conducting ODP analysis to sensorially identify key odorants.
  • Quantification of reduced sulfur compounds, particularly mercaptans (common problematic odorants).
  • Quantification of siloxanes in biogas from wastewater treatment plants or landfills.
  • Analytical or sensorial analysis of emissions from materials (Packaging, manufacturing, products).
