At the 1999 meetings of the Association for Chemoreception Sciences, a symposium was held titled ‘Short-Term Effects of Environmental Chemicals’. The purpose of this was to highlight areas of possible overlap between traditional academic research on responses to odorants and irritants and ‘real world’ problems where at least some of the issues relate to odor or irritation. In a typical laboratory experiment in this area a single compound in the vapor phase only is presented (at various, reasonably well controlled concentrations) to a human or animal subject for very brief periods. The response measures usually deal only with some level of response from the olfactory or trigeminal (ocular and/or nasal) inputs. These features all make good sense in . . .
