Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP)
The KTP between the University of
Wolverhampton and CEL aims at modelling
odour and attempting to link bioaerosols and
odour through field surveys. One particular
growth business area for CEL over the next 5
years is planning, permitting and completion of
EIAs. These include air quality as a key issue with
computer-based dispersion modelling of risk
assessment of odours, dusts and bioaerosols
combined with onsite measurements being
required.
CEL has experience in dust and bioaerosol
monitoring but needs to validate, and specialise,
its odour monitoring capabilities. CEL currently
lacks technical expertise to computer model risk
assessment of these impact factors with regard
to nuisance and public health. Securing the
additional skills for odour monitoring completes
the information set required for dispersion
modelling and facilitates a reputation as a leader
in air quality assessment. The aim for CEL is to
increase their share in the odour and bioaerosols
monitoring market in the next 5 years.
The KTP partnership will create an opportunity
for CEL to provide expert consultancy advice to
clients regarding odour monitoring and
bioaerosols modelling. Dan has now started the
KTP and has already undertaken his first
bioaerosol sampling. He has also reviewed
competitors and the potential market for odour
modelling and currently evaluating the various
software packages available.

A New use for Nasal Rangers…
Officers at Denver Department of
Environmental Health have found an
unexpected use for the Nasal Ranger: to sniff
out marijuana odour that may be coming
from businesses legally growing the
substance in Colorado State!
Nicknamed the “Nasal Rangers”, the team of
public health agents use the device to
investigate whether businesses growing the

passers-by with the plants stench. More
