Odour Analysis and Characterization<br />

An olfactometer is a laboratory instrument that facilitates the determination of odour detection and<br />

recognition thresholds. It accurately dilutes and presents odorous samples to panellists for evaluation.<br />

Typically, olfactometer data is used to assess environmental impact, regulatory compliance, the<br />

effectiveness of air pollution control measures, and assist in the development of perfumed products and<br />

food taste enhancements.<br />

Analysis of odour samples using triangular forced-choice, dynamic dilution olfactometer and panel of 8<br />

trained assessors.<br />

Facilities and procedures meet ASTM Standard E679-91, European Standard Draft prEN 13725, and<br />

Ontario Ministry of Environment draft standard for odour analysis.<br />

On-site analysis available.<br />

On-site Non-Destructive & Laboratory-Based Analysis of Lead in Paint, <strong>Air</strong> & Bulk Samples<br />

<strong>Pinchin</strong> Environmental has the capabilities and experience to assist building owners and construction<br />

managers in the control of lead hazards in construction and renovation. Many older paints contain high<br />

levels of lead. Lead control and clean up may also be required in older industrial properties where lead<br />

dust remains from past operations.<br />

Environmental and occupational health and safety regulations make owners, architects, engineers and<br />

construction supervisors responsible to identify and control the potential hazards from lead on a project.<br />

<strong>Pinchin</strong> Environmental can ensure these responsibilities are met.<br />

• Measurement of lead in paint with on-site non-destructive X-Ray Fluorescence<br />

instrumentation.<br />

• Analysis of lead in paint, soil, air samples and swabs with Anodic Stripping Voltametry.<br />

On-site services available for rapid turnaround.<br />
