We evaluated participants' odor sensitivity threshold using a butanol standard and expected that associations between hog odor and BP might be attenuated among participants with poorer odor sensitivity; however, associations with hog odor differed little by odor sensitivity.
However, the simplicity as well as low energy and monitoring requirements of this technology are often counterbalanced by frequent operational problems consisting of slow and insufficient dewatering, poor vegetation growth, odor, and overall poor mineralization of the sludge residues.
One explanation may be that mouse preferences are very weakly colored by the environment (the laboratory mice were raised in an olfactory poor environment) whereas odor pleasantness in adult humans is likely to be more affected by learning and experience.
With Bonferroni correction of pairwise comparisons, subjects reported significantly poorer air quality, odor quality, and a greater need to ventilate the room at 80 min in the 0.5-ppm and 5-ppm conditions relative to the 0.05-ppm condition.
Rapid growth and the concentration of hog production in North Carolina have raised concerns of a disproportionate impact of pollution and offensive odors on poor and nonwhite communities.
Although people in general have a rather poor ability to identify odors (Larsson 1997; Jönsson and Olsson 2003), identification proficiency is positively related to memory performance (Rabin and Cain 1984; Frank et al. 2011).
Workers reported that the job was a routine that involved contact with an abrasive substance, foul odors, and poor ergonomic conditions, as they spent their shifts hunched over microscopes.
Observations can also include any odor which might suggest poor personal hygiene due to extreme self-neglect, or alcohol intoxication.
Poor hygiene including uncombed or matted hair, body odor, or foul breath.
Poor quality leather will often develop a foul odor over time.
