The Odour Special Interest Group (OSIG) is a sub-committee of the Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand and provides forums for the exchange of information, encouraging improved practices in odour measurement, dispersion modelling, assessment, control, management and monitoring of odour effects.
The current OSIG Chair is Roger Cudmore, Director, Golder Associates (NZ) Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand. The OSIG has four subcommittees that are responsible for investigating and developing approaches in regards to Odour Sampling, Calibrated Odour Modelling Approaches, Community Impact Tools and specifying Separation Distances. The aims of these committees are to help develop methods and approaches for assessing potential odour impacts that are transparent and can be cited as officially accepted by air quality professionals within Australia and New Zealand.
The NSW/ACT Branch of the CASANZ also has an Odour SIG which has a focus on odour related issues that are specific to NSW and the ACT but which also have wider implications for the Odour Community as a whole. The NSW/ACT OSIG is headed by Jeff Mann of MWH Global, Sydney, Australia.
