Spanish term

aires conflictivos

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology Pollution
From an estimate from Spain for translation to British English, about work on a slaughtering plant:

"PROYECTO PLANTA RENDERING CATEGORA 3 (Con sistema de eliminación de olores mediante oxidación térmica de los vahos y aires conflictivos)"

unpleasant / noxious fumes

the term itself speaks more to unpleasantness than danger, it'll be your call as to which is more appropriate in the text.
Peer comment(s):

Reference:

Babcock-Wanson brochure

Air and steam/vapour seem to be both inputs and outputs of the thermal oxidation process. Could they be conflicting because they have different physical properties, thereby affecting the process? Hope the reference helps you resolve the problem.
