The Science of Odour

 

THE PROBLEM OF ODOURS:

​​

Unpleasant odours not only decrease the quality of everyday life and sense of well-being but also can be a warning sign of potential risks to human health.   We are averse to pungent odours: meaning acidic, fungal musk, spicy, fecal, pea-like, malty, and rancid odours.

​​

Our Professional deodorizing products are made to neutralize odours at the molecular level, purifying the air & freshening up the worst problem areas without releasing volatile chemicals and harsh, artificial fragrances into the air.

​

In addition to getting rid of bad smells, our professional odour control products can create a fresh, inviting ambiance that your customers AND employees will love.

​

You can give your business its own signature scent to compliment your brand. Research shows that customers spend more in pleasantly scented environments and find a reason to re-visit besides referring friends and relatives to experience the ambiance of the showroom.

​

Odors pollute the environment in these forms:

​

Human and animal waste odour: Many chemicals such as sulfurous, nitrogenous, and aldehydes, volatile fatty acids.

​

Composting facilities: Ammonia, sulfur-containing compounds, terpene, alcohols, aldehydes, ester, ketones, volatile fatty acids (VFA)

​

Animal feedlots: Ammonia, hydrogen sulfides, alcohol, aldehydes, N2O

​

Wastewater treatment plants:  Hydrogen sulfides, mercaptan, ammonia, amines, skatoles, indoles, etc

​

Car upholstery odours: Come from a variety of materials, including leather, plastic, carpet, vinyl, paint, and glue. Some substances in leather that can cause unpleasant odours include:

​

• Amines: From protein degradation during beam housing and waste-water recycling

• Aldehydes: From the oxidative decomposition of natural fats and low-quality fat liquors

• Thio-compounds: Trace levels originating from beam housing, protein degradation, and certain biocides.
