Collect in the field, not at the desk
Record odour, air pollutant and meteorological observations on your phone, in real time. No paper forms, no data entry lag.
A field data collection app for ambient odour and pollutant observations, built by the air quality scientists who have to defend the data afterwards.
Accurate environmental data starts with reliable collection. PlumeMapper makes it straightforward to record ambient odour and pollutant readings on site, whether through instantaneous or timed measurements. The app guides field operators step by step, so every data point is consistent and audit-ready.
Record odour, air pollutant and meteorological observations on your phone, in real time. No paper forms, no data entry lag.
Integrate community complaint data alongside your own field measurements. Stop managing two separate pictures of the same problem.
Advanced filtering surfaces trends across time, location and conditions so you spend less time in spreadsheets and more time making decisions.
When a complaint comes in, you have the data to back your response to regulators, site managers and community members.
Streamlined workflows take you from raw observations to structured, shareable outputs without manual reformatting.
Stop reacting to complaints after the fact. PlumeMapper gives you the tools to identify odour issues early and act before they escalate.
Field notes on paper record what somebody smelled. A structured observation records what they smelled, where they stood, when it happened and what the weather was doing. Only the second one lets you answer a complaint with evidence.

Define the site, the pollutants and the observation points. Every operator then records against the same structure.
Instantaneous or timed measurements on a phone, with pollutant type, intensity, character and source captured for every reading.
Filter across time, location and conditions to see what the readings actually show, instead of rebuilding it in a spreadsheet.
Structured outputs you can put in front of a regulator, a site manager or a community meeting the same week.
Andrew’s reporting and evidence provided to the court was thorough, clear, compelling and to the point and resulted in the client achieving a successful outcome.
I would recommend Air Environment for any matter involving the detailed analysis and interpretation of meteorological data and the development of atmospheric meteorological models.
Andrew and the team proved to be very flexible and responsive in accommodating changes and providing strategic and technical advice. I would highly recommend Air Environment and will certainly use them again.
PlumeMapper collects the data. When you need it interpreted, modelled or defended, the same team does that too.
Common questions about what PlumeMapper records, how it fits alongside consultant-run surveys, and who gets the most out of it.
Pollutant type, intensity, character and source, captured as either an instantaneous or a timed measurement, with the operator guided step by step so the same fields are completed every time. That consistency is what makes the dataset usable later, and it is what free-text notes never deliver.
Yes. Multiple pollutants can be sequenced within one survey session, so an operator walking a boundary does not need a separate run for odour, dust and gas observations.
Yes, and this is usually the point. Most sites end up managing two separate pictures of the same problem: what the community reports and what the operators measure. Holding both in one dataset is what lets you see whether they agree.
Observations arrive already structured, so outputs can be filtered and shared without manual reformatting. There is no transcription step between the fence line and the spreadsheet, which is also where most transcription errors used to come from.
No, and it is not meant to. PlumeMapper structures the collection. Interpreting the results, running dispersion modelling and giving expert evidence are separate pieces of work. What it does change is the quality of the data those pieces start from, which usually shortens the assessment rather than replacing it.
Operators at sites with an ongoing odour or dust obligation: wastewater treatment plants, waste and composting facilities, meat processing and rendering, and industrial sites with nearby residents. Also councils and regulators fielding complaints they need to verify.
Yes. We deliver air consulting services across Australia, including regional and remote sites, and have supported international projects for clients across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and North and South America.
