Around the world companies are facing steadily increasing demands to limit hazardous or odourous emissions from their production facilities. The institutions of the EPA in the United States and the IPPC in Europe are evidence of a new political climate. Regulations for permitting production now normally require assessors to consider potential odour and pollution impacts when reviewing applications.

As a result of urban sprawl, many production plants, originally sited at a distance from the population, now find themselves surrounded by housing. Local communities have also become more willing to use the available laws of nuisance in taking legal action against owners and operators of odour and pollution sources. Specific limits for concentrations of particulate matter and in many areas for odour have also made this type of action more likely to succeed.

All indications are that these trends are likely to continue into the future.

At APP, we don't only provide drastic removal of odour and dust, we also put our science and energy to do so in the most environment friendly way.
