Type of article: Article

Summary

The design of an odour control system must address both health standards or guidelines, and odour thresholds. The odour threshold "refers to the theoretical minimum concentration of odorant stimulus necessary for detection in some specified percentage of the population, usually the mean. Threshold values are not fixed physiological facts or physical constants but are a statistical point representing the best estimate values from a group of individual respondents."
