Human awareness of several odorants at varying concentrations were monitored within different environments. The effects of distractions, unfamiliarity with the test environment, and previous training were found to be significant. Efforts were directed at determining not only the odorant levels that can be detected, but also the levels that will be detected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
