Pollution is emitted into the air from a variety of sources
The pollution may cause odours - anyone who experiences an odour in the RMWB can submit their observations via the WBEA's COMP app
Users can learn about odours and view all observations submitted at comp.wbea.org
The WBEA Community Odour Monitoring Program (COMP), previously the Human Exposure Monitoring Program, is focused on collecting data on odours in the region.
COMP was developed to gain a better understanding of how odour events relate to air quality in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB). The WBEA developed an App that allows community members to submit information about the odours they experience. This information is collected in a secure database, which is later compared to the ambient air parameter concentrations recorded at the WBEA’s ambient air monitoring stations throughout the RMWB. Our aim is to understand any existing or potential relationships or trends in ambient air quality when odour observations are submitted.
Individuals residing and visiting the RMWB are encouraged to:
Click to view the locations of all our ambient air monitoring stations. The hourly data collected at each station is posted, in near real-time, to each individual station page.
The COMP microsite is where you can find relevant information regarding odours, odour causing compounds, real-time data, odour observations and annual reports.
The COMP App allows community members to submit information about odours they experience in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. Information is submitted to a database, where it will be compared to the ambient air data collected at WBEA air monitoring stations throughout the region. The information collected as part of the Community Odour Monitoring Program (COMP) is anonymous and for research purposes only.
