Margrethe Bongers joined PRA OdourNet BV in 1997. She is a senior consultant for agricultural and industrial odour pollution issues, and is responsible for acquisition, design and coordination of odour studies. These studies involve all aspects, including emission and ambient measurements, source characterisation, dispersion modelling, direct annoyance surveys using telephone polling, field panel assessments, emission reduction programmes and systems choice for odour reduction.

In 1999/2000 she was project manager for an inquiry directed by the Ministry of Public Health, Planning and Environment (VROM) with the objective of providing a scientific basis for establishing air quality criteria for pig odours, for regulatory application. This involved a large-scale study into the relationship between exposure to pig odours and annoyance in the exposed population.

Before joining PRA, she was successively employed by dgmr raadgevende ingenieurs bv in The Hague, in the domain of acoustics and environmental permits, and at the waste processing company Van Vliet Contrans in Wateringen, as an environmental coordinator.

Margrethe Bongers (1968) was educated as an environmental engineer at the Van Hall Institute, that awarded her the title ‘Ingenieur’ (Ing.) for studies in environmental technology in 1994.

In preparation for her thesis she participated in a project on industrial waste prevention and waste water treatment in Mozambique, carried out by the University of Maputo in cooperation with the University of Technology Delft (The Netherlands).
