Odour assessment as a necessary complement to chemical evaluation of building products

Résumé

Evaluation of emissions from building products is mainly focused on comparison between exposition concentrations of identified individual organic compounds and health criteria. No adequate integrated criterion is available for interaction and mixture effects. Besides, everyone performs daily evaluation of perceived air quality. Human beings through their senses, for example, olfaction and chemesthesis, are able to achieve a synthetic response to a global mixture of compounds. It is thus essential to perform sensory tests complementing chemical analysis to take into account the impact of the whole emission of sources. Two related questions remain to be answered: the kind of sensory test and the type of sensory information and criterion to be used in the evaluation procedure.
