1 Odor Basics & Reducing Technologies Dick Nicolai South Dakota State University Olfaction -- Sense of Smell Complex Mixture of gases Humans detect > 10,000 odors Extremely low concentrations Health impacts? Evokes a physiological and emotional reaction 1 2 Gas vs Odor Measurement Gas Identify individual gases Measure concentrations Odor--Olfactometry Analyze mixture Correlates with odor Uses human sense of smell Gas Measurement Tubes--Indicator and Diffusion Gas Monitoring Patches MDA--Single-point monitor Jerome meter GC/MS 3 4 Electronic Nose Odor Measurement and Description Threshold concentrations Detection Recognition Intensity (strength) th) Persistence Hedonic tone--pleasant/unpleasant Hand Held Unit Laboratory Unit 5 Character descriptor 6 Livestock and Poultry Environmental Stewardship 1

2 Odor -- Sound Analogy Odor Sound Below Detection... I can t hear it Detection..... I hear something Recognition It s Elvis! Intensity How loud is it? Odor Measurement Nasal Ranger Sentometer 7 8 Olfactometer Intensometer 9 10 Odor Intensity Measurement Odor Intensity Reference Scale Based on N - Butanol Equivalent head space Intensity category concentration of N - butanol Mixture of N - butanol in Field Sniffers in air (ppm)* water (ppm) 0 No odor Very Light Light Moderate Strong Very strong * Based on air temperature of 20.3 C Livestock and Poultry Environmental Stewardship 2
