Recruiting, training and managing a sensory panel in odor nuisance testing.

A growing level of environmental awareness in societies has led to an increased interest in the odor nuisance. Residents' complaints have ultimately revealed the need to develop adequate research methods that would ensure objective measurements, thus shedding more light on this complex problem....
