Ventilation for Odor Control
The design of an odor control system must address both health standards or guidelines, and odor thresholds. The odor threshold refers to the theoretical minimum concentration of odorant stimulus necessary for detection in some specified percentage of the population, usually the mean. Threshold values are not fixed physiological facts or physical constants but are a statistical point of representing the best estimate values from a group of individual respondents.Citation: ASHRAE Journal, vol. 45, no. 4, April 2003
