Built for everyday people
No technical knowledge needed. If you can smell it, you can report it in under a minute.
A community odour reporting tool that turns what your street is putting up with into structured, time-stamped data councils and regulators can act on.
Accurate odour impact assessment starts with the community. OdourRadar makes it straightforward for residents to report nuisance smells on site, capturing the who, what, when and where of every odour event. Each report contributes to a growing picture that helps local authorities and environmental teams identify and respond to odour sources.
No technical knowledge needed. If you can smell it, you can report it in under a minute.
Pin the exact spot where you experienced the smell. Every tag makes the map more accurate for your community.
Each submission builds collective evidence. The more residents report, the harder it is to ignore.
Guided questions mean your report captures exactly what investigators need, first time.
See what others in your area are reporting. Understand whether you're alone or part of a pattern.
Structured community data gives local authorities and environmental regulators the evidence to investigate and act.
Odour complaints are dismissed more often for being vague about when than for being wrong about what. A timestamped report is the difference between an opinion and a data point.
Swipe the chart sideways to see the full day.
A guided form captures the character, the strength, how unpleasant it was, and exactly where and when. Under a minute, no account of technical knowledge needed.
Each submission is placed in time and space alongside every other report in your area, so you can see whether you are alone or part of something.
Reports are filtered across time, location and weather conditions. Patterns that no single complaint could show start to stand out.
Structured, consistent, time-stamped data is what councils and environmental regulators need before they can investigate. Loose complaints rarely clear that bar.
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.
OdourRadar is written for residents, and that is deliberate. But the reason it is worth having is that structured community data is more useful to the operator than an inbox full of angry emails.
When a complaint arrives, you can see whether it sits inside a pattern or on its own, and what the weather was doing at the time. That is a far better starting position than a phone log.
A public reporting channel that produces structured data is evidence of good faith. It is also a lot easier to point to than a promise to do better.
Reports cluster around specific times, wind directions and operational states. Those clusters tell you which sources and which shifts to look at first.
Community reports sit alongside field surveillance and dispersion modelling in the same evidence base, handled by the same team.
Community reports are one input. When a site needs the impact measured, modelled or defended, the same team does that too.
Common questions about reporting an odour, what happens to your report, and how councils and operators use the data.
None. If you can smell it, you can report it. A guided form asks what it smelled like, how strong it was, how unpleasant you found it, and where and when you noticed it. It takes under a minute.
The character of the smell, its strength, how unpleasant it was, and the precise location and time. Those last two matter more than people expect, because odour behaves completely differently at 5am than at midday, and without a timestamp that context is lost.
On its own, one report is a single data point, and we would rather be honest about that than pretend otherwise. What changes the picture is volume and consistency. A hundred reports that all describe the same character at the same time of day under the same wind direction is not a complaint any more, it is a finding.
Yes. You can see the reports in your area as they build, which is often the first time residents discover that what they have been putting up with is affecting the whole street.
Report it anyway, and record the time it actually happened rather than the time you filled the form in. Odour episodes are usually short and the timing is the most valuable thing in the record.
It is built and operated by Air Environment, an air quality and odour consultancy. Reports are structured so councils and environmental regulators can use them in an investigation.
Yes, that is one of the main ways it is used. Get in touch and we will walk you through how it is set up for a specific site or locality, and how the reporting data connects to field surveillance and dispersion modelling.
