évolution des normes de mesure des odeurs et des composés odorants

摘要

Odour analysis is still a singular method because based on sensorial analysis using human nose as detector. This specificity defines this measurement method as olfactometry. The actual standard needs improvements explaining the revision process in progress. But olfactometry cannot be applied for all odorous situations and therefore new complementary standards are proposed for applications where olfactometry is not appropriate. It must be noted that standards concern measurement methodologies and do not fix limit values of exhaust or odour exposure because this aspect depends on regulation. Different countries may use the same standard as measurement method with different air quality objectives.
