"This report is intended to serve as a chemical odor threshold reference for use by industrial hygienists and other health or safety professionals ..."--P 1

This review provides important reference information for chemicals with occupational exposure values, focusing on the anatomy and physiology of odor, odor perception, odor character, and a literature review of odor threshold methodology. Tables present information on the detection and recognition of odor thresholds, the experimental odor threshold determinations reported by each investigator and different ways to locate specific chemical information.

This book is the eighth volume in the series Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Selected Airborne Chemicals, and reviews AEGLs for acrolein, carbon monoxide, 1,2-dichloroethene, ethylenimine, fluorine, hydrazine, peracetic acid, propylenimine, and sulfur dioxide for scientific accuracy, completeness, and consistency with the NRC guideline reports.
