Air Quality Impact Assessment

Gexcon specialises in conducting dispersion modelling for air quality and odour assessments, which are indispensable in the context of planning and environmental permit applications for both commercial and industrial facilities.

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a crucial tool aimed at safeguarding the environment. It provides essential information to local authorities tasked with determining whether to grant permission for projects (new or extensions) that are likely to exert significant impacts on the environment.

Leveraging cutting-edge tools such as FLACS and ADMS, industry-standard pollution modelling software, we offer an array of services to address your specific needs.

Our services include:

Pre-development or pre-planning screening services. We evaluate various aspects, such as site or source location, process capacity adjustments, and abatement strategies, to ensure optimal project planning.
Stack height assessment. We assess stack heights to optimise emissions dispersion, minimising their environmental impact.
EIA for sensitive receptors. Our assessments consider single or multiple-point source emissions against stringent Air Quality Standards and the Industrial Emissions Directive limits (ELVs) to protect sensitive receptors.
Dispersion modelling. Our modelling accounts for diverse factors, including terrain features, airborne pollutants data, as well as odours and emissions originating from industrial processes.
