Project: MLMMI 98-01-18

Objective

The project involves the standardization of the sensory methodology for quantitative measurement of malodour intensity for laboratory, animal research, and on-site environmental testing. This will provide a new standard test and protocols to evaluate odours and allow meaningful cross-comparisons of the results from different test situations. It will also provide the basis for a provisional standard for regulatory testing.
