The method of sampling and analysing odour substances in odour repellents used in road ecology

Original language description

Odour repellents (OREs) are a mitigation measure of wildlife-vehicle collisions, which has been extensively applied across Europe. The OREs overall aim is to dismiss probability of such collisions. ORE are applied as an outdoor area repellent, and thus their effectiveness is influenced by many factors (such as weather conditions, and, of course, animal behaviour). At the same time, due to their principle, they contain active chemicals, evaporating from a foam carrier within time. New OREs or fortification dose of active compounds must be applied, after initial dose is not sufficient to the purpose. In the practice, OREs are applied on foams randomly, likely every 3-4 months, without any scientifically based control mechanism of residual concertation of an active substance in a foam. This approach is costly as well as environmentally unfriendly. Despite many scientific papers on the topic of odour repellent usage and their effectiveness, there is still little understanding of an effective control of commercial OREs functionality. This poster presents the first results of testing the evaporation of active compounds from OREs foam carrier within manufacturers recommended time of use under different real-life conditions. Presented analytical approach allows to monitor concentration of repelling compounds, provides stakeholders valuable information to avoid their unnecessary application and thus saving application costs.
