The Nasal Ranger® Field Olfactometer is the “state-of-the-art” in field olfactometry for confidently measuring and quantifying odor strength in the ambient air. The Nasal Ranger® Field Olfactometer, a portable odor detecting and measuring device, determines ambient odor “Dilution-to-Threshold” (D/T) values objectively. Field olfactometry can be used as a proactive monitoring or enforcement tool for confident odor measurement at property lines and in the neighboring community. Quantifying ambient odor is often needed for the following purposes:
- Monitoring daily operations (i.e. management performance evaluations),
- Comparison of operating practices (i.e. evaluating alternatives),
- Documenting specific events or episodes (i.e. defensible, credible evidence),
- Monitoring compliance (i.e. compliance assurance for permits),
- Determination of compliance (i.e. permit renewal),
- Determination of status (i.e. baseline data for expansion planning),
- Investigation of odor control effectiveness (i.e. scientific testing),
- Verification of odor dispersion modeling (i.e. model calibration),
- Determination of specific odor sources (i.e. investigation of complaints),
- Verification of complaints (i.e. notice of violation).
