☀️ Why Odour Problems Increase in Warm Weather — and How AEC Systems Can Help
As soon as the sun comes out and temperatures rise, many businesses experience a noticeable increase in odour complaints. That’s no coincidence: more time outdoors and open windows mean more exposure to smells – both inside and out.
But why are odours worse in summer, and more importantly — what can you do to effectively manage and prevent them?

The Science Behind Summer Odours
- Heat increases odour releaseAs temperatures climb, odorous substances are released more rapidly from sources like standing water, waste or chemical residues. The warmer it gets, the more noticeable these smells become.
- Faster spread through warm airWarm air enhances the movement of odour particles, allowing smells to travel further and affect a wider area in a shorter time.
- Temperature triggers chemical odoursHeat can lead to chemical reactions that create stronger or longer-lasting smells in industrial environments.
- Microbial activity speeds upMicroorganisms thrive in warmer conditions. Their increased activity speeds up the breakdown of organic matter – a major source of foul odours.
- Air pollution intensifies odoursHeat and pollution can combine to form reactive compounds in the air, worsening the odour experience.
- Increase of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)Warm temperatures increase the vapour pressure of VOCs, causing more of them to evaporate from solvents, fuels and industrial processes.
- Faster oxidation of organic matterHeat accelerates the oxidation of fatty acids and proteins in waste or residues, producing smelly compounds like aldehydes, ketones and sulphur-containing molecules.
