β¦ Synopsis
The health impact of environmental odor pollution varies with both the source air pollution and the exposed population. Some environmental odors herald toxicologically odors important exposures. On the other hand, some potent odorants, in particular symptoms organic amines and reduced sulfur gases, have odor thresholds several orders pathophysiology of magnitude lower than their thresholds for irritant (or other toxic) effects. epidemiology Notwithstanding this apparent margin of safety, community members impacted by such emissions often report, not only odor-related annoyance, but also such somatic symptoms as headache, nausea and shortness of breath. This paper reviews potential pathophysiologic mechanisms whereby ordors, per se, may trigger symptoms among exposed individuals.
