| Abstract |
Olfactory threshold values of organic solvents were determined by means of a triangle olfactory test using one bag containing each odorant and 2 other bags containing clean air. Solvents and their thresholds (in ppm) were: toluene 4.2; o-xylene 0,6; trichloroethylene 8.4; hexane 13; butyl acetate 5.0; methanol 2.0. |
