The Olympic Games Paris 2024 begin this week! The opening ceremony kicks things off this Friday, 26th July, at 6.30pm. As the world anticipates the games, the focus is on the athletes and the competitions. Yet, behind the scenes, another hidden but important aspect is being handled. Odour management is crucial in ensuring a pleasant environment for athletes and spectators.

ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS

Maintaining high environmental standards is essential in any large-scale event. This is particularly true for an event as significant as the Olympics. The volume of people, food vendors, waste, and transportation creates potential odour challenges. These can all affect the experience of the games. The organisers of the Paris Olympics have implemented specific methods to achieve carbon neutrality. This should mean improved air quality and, therefore, lower odour emissions.

ODOUR MANAGEMENT AT THE PARIS OLYMPICS

Our work at Silsoe Odours involves understanding and managing odour levels. The Olympics is different from our typical industrial sites. Yet, the principles of odour management remain the same. Effective odour control requires precise measurement and analysis. Plus, the implementation of targeted strategies to mitigate potential sources of odour.

For the Paris Olympics, this could involve all sorts of strategies. For example, daily odour monitoring ensures any issues get resolved promptly. There should be collaboration with local waste management services, food vendors and transportation authorities to minimise odour generation. There may also be innovative solutions such as biofilters and odour-neutralising agents. These kinds of strategies can help keep the air fresh and pleasant.

Focusing on air quality and odour management sets a standard for future events. It enhances the experience for everyone involved. It also underscores the importance of environmental considerations in event planning.
