This first workshop organized by the Environmental Institute of Paraná (Instituto Ambiental do Parana, IAP) took place in the Toledo Campus of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná in Toledo, Brazil. The event was promoted by the IAP and had the support of the Public Ministry and some private companies. During this workshop, the president of the IAP, Luiz Tarcisio Mossato Pinto, announced that a new program for atmospheric emissions will be launched in November.
The aim of this Workshop was to discuss the mecanisms to control odours from industrial companies in the region. The Workshop was open to the scientific community, industry and companies related to environmental odour management. The registration for this interesting event was free and the conference room was full.
Some very interesting people were lecturing in this Workshop, so we are sure the people enjoyed a very nice event in Toledo. Some round table-sessions were created in order to discuss several issues related with odour management. For example, some guidelines were proposed for good practices in the Animal by-product industry. These guidelines will be developed and published to be part of the environmental legislation on atmospheric emissions of Parana. According to the president of the Environmental Institute of Paraná this guideline will be based on the conclusions of this first seminar.
