Abstract |
A collection of odour threshold data for approximately 450 chemical substances is presented. The range of threshold reported in the literature is shown along twith any reported thresholds of irritation to humans. These data can assist industrial hygienists in determining when an odour may be in excess of exposure limits, when an organic vapour respirator is not acceptable due to the lack of an odour warning at the end of a carridge life, and where odour may not indicate a hazard due to extremely low odour thresholds which may be well below the respective exposure limits. |
