assessing odour in the RAQP.
The FIDOL factors are explained in greater detail below:
• Frequency; relates to how often an individual is exposed to odour. Factors determining this
include the frequency that the source releases odour (including its source type, characteristics

and enhanced.

Mann-Kendall test.
The sign (+/-) of the Kendall tau value was used to assess whether the trend was
positive or negative and the significance of the trend was determined using the p value
(p < 0.05 = significant).
When multiple correlations are undertaken, there is a chance that some will be found
to be significant purely by chance. In order to deal with this potential problem, the
Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) method was applied to the results of
