To this purpose, the scientists used a newly developed mobile odour laboratory equipped with a PTR - MS for
measuring odorants and an olfactometer.

Both methods have advantages and disadvantages, but the optimum method would be to be able to quantify the connection between the smell that the human nose experiences and the actual,
measured amount of specific
odorants in the air.
Usually, it takes a nose to smell, but now — for the first time — scientists have developed a convincing model able to
measure odours from pig farms by means of precise measurements of the content of
odorants in the atmosphere.
For the first time is has been demonstrated that measurements of
odorants in the air may be an alternative to dynamic olfactometry that can be applied for
measuring odour from pig houses and the effects of odour abatement technologies.
