sampling and analysis of SO2 samples taken from the stack by the in house
laboratory
(iii) Odour monitoring of the new infrastructure to capture and redirect non-
condensable gases to ensure that it is working effectively
(iv) Odour risk assessment to confirm how the reconfiguration has impacted the
odour profile of the site including (but not limited to) identifying all activities
and processess on site with the potential to produce odour, testing for odour
from point and diffuse discharge points to ascertain if there has been a
reduction or change in emissions, assess the activities and processes on site
for their odour potential based on the size of activity, characteristics and
intensity of odours and the potential pathways for odour transmission beyond
