Large-scale operation by the fire department in Hamburg-Eidelstedt

Odors and their relevance
When it comes to smells, opinions are often divided. The perception of a smell does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about its health relevance, warns DGUV. A clearly perceived smell could be below the analog detection limits for the respective substances. Therefore, unusual odor releases should always be taken seriously as they can indicate suboptimal air quality.
The workplace regulations stipulate that there must always be sufficient breathing air that is beneficial to health in enclosed spaces. It is therefore important to avoid unpleasant odors as far as the nature of the operation allows. The use of fragrance oils in rooms can also be problematic as they could trigger allergies and sensitization.
Overall, today shows how important quick action and information are. The quick all-clear gives citizens in the Pinneberg district and beyond a little more security, while the fire brigade continues to work to put out the last embers.
