As part of our commitment to the environment, specialized equipment is measuring odors in the air. How does it work?
Trained people with a highly trained sense of smell are located at key points and describe the odors they perceive. This is done according to Chilean regulations, which guarantees objective values.
The monitoring area is defined considering three key aspects, the proximity to people and housing, the space where the project is located and the weather and terrain conditions. We also carry out this monitoring at different times of the day so that the data we collect is representative and complete at all times.
This corresponds to the first stage of monitoring that we will be carrying out during the entire remediation process, which also includes the incorporation of continuous monitoring and predictive technology.
While this is not a requirement of our environmental qualification resolution, it does help us to protect the health of our environment and thus make better decisions.
