The Council of Ministers for Sustainability has approved the first environmental odor standard in Chile: the Pollutant Emission Standard for Pig Farms.
As a result of the application of the standard, it is expected to prevent and control the emission of odors from pig farms through the establishment of technological improvements and thus reduce odor emissions from the source. Its scope of application is nationwide and will apply to swine farms with more than 750 animals.
As for the requirements of the standard, it sets limits, with the objective of reducing odor emissions through the best available technologies. Thus, for example, pig farms that still have untreated slurry lagoons must implement control technologies to reduce odor emissions. In addition, the future regulation adds reporting requirements for operational practices that will help to reduce odor events and improve communication between authorities, regulated establishments, and the community.
