24 Jul 2020Other industriesIt can be challenging for decision-makers to operate an existing plant, to start up a plant or to integrate a new process. These challenges include risks associated with odour and social acceptability, which are sometimes overlooked. However, nearly 70% of citizen complaints about air quality are odour-related. So, it is important to carefully plan operations, as poor odour emissions management can lead to complaints, inspections from the Ministère de l’Environnement or the Lutte contre les changements climatiques and even lawsuits.FIDOR: a practical tool for assessing odour emission risks

12 May 2020Other industriesThe COVID-19 pandemic has made it clear that there is a need for preventive isolation rooms in the workplace. Moreover, the CNESST has issued rules for employers in this regard: they must see that Whether temporary or permanent, an isolation room will prevent contamination of other employees by those who have symptoms of viral infection or similar symptoms, and will allow the owner to deal with the situation properly. Since ventilation is the key component that keeps an isolation room functioning correctly, this article focuses on the design of ventilation systems, particularly on the method for obtaining the required airflow. The important elements of system operation, maintenance and performance monitoring will also be addressed.Ventilation of isolation rooms
