においの強度と濃度の間の相関に関する考察(第15報) : 臭気強度・臭気濃度間関係の簡略化式とその妥当性の検討

Abstract

This paper deals with some characteristic properties of a compound odor. We have, first, described the basic equation (1) in text concerning the relation between odor intensity and odor concentration of a compound odor, and then, have shown a implified equation (2) which is derived from equation (1) by tating into consideration the finding that there is almost no numerical difference of k_i among odorants, as seen in Tables 1 and 2; with respect to equation (2), we have, further, pointed out that it should be applicable to any compound odor in general In order to ascertain the reality of this view, we have applied equation (2) to odors emitted from such sources as rendering plants, paint workshops, kraft-paper mills, live-stock houses, coffee factories, night-soil processing plants, sewage disposal works, and moreover, waste incineration facilities, and, based upon the close examination of the results, we have concluded that equation (2) is appropriate and useful in case of studying compound odors.
