[Annoyance by odors].

In this study we attempted to measure the odour immissions objectively and to bring them in relation with the subjective statements of the population. As measure of odour intensity, merely the distance from the source of emission could be considered. A self-rating thermometer as well as subjective complaints, such as sleeplessness, nausea and the intention to move, permitted us to derive distinct annoyance levels at various distances from the source.
