Odor nuisance from range hoods: a growing problem for local residents and business owners
Environmental rules hospitality industry: mandatory measures against odor nuisance
Under current environmental regulations catering establishments may be required to take measures against odor nuisance. Municipalities and environmental services are increasingly checking for cooking odor nuisance. In the event of complaints or an odor nuisance report, a catering entrepreneur may be required to install a professional odor filter or air cleaning system.
Consider:
-
Activated carbon odor filters
-
Air filters for catering exhaust systems.
-
Air scrubbers or ozone systems
An exhaust hood with return air to the outside is generally already installed when the kitchen is installed but such an air cleaning system is not. This is a significant investment for a catering business and not always possible to install in the exhaust system.
Prevent odor complaints and protect your business
Do you have a restaurant or catering kitchen and want to avoid odor complaints or fines? Make sure you have a well-functioning deodorization system. This prevents odor nuisance for local residents and ensures that you comply with the applicable environmental regulations for the hospitality industry.
