Once collected, odours in the air samples are qualified by measuring the "odour strength" or "odour concentration" in accordance with a standard methodology. The protocol outlined in ASTM International (ASTM) E-679-04 (2011) is the most commonly accepted methodology in Canada and the United States. It involves using prequalified odour panellists to sniff decreasingly diluted (increasingly concentrated) air samples until an odour can be detected. 1, record 1, English, - odour%20concentration

Une fois recueillies, les odeurs présentes dans les échantillons d'air sont qualifiées au moyen de la mesure de la «puissance de l'odeur» ou de la «concentration de l'odeur» conformément à une méthode standard. Le protocole décrit dans la norme ASTM International (ASTM) E-679-04 (2011) est la méthode la plus communément utilisée au Canada et aux États-Unis. Selon cette méthode, on demande à des intervenants préqualifiés de sentir des échantillons d'air de moins en moins dilués (de plus en plus concentrés) jusqu'à ce qu'ils détectent une odeur. 1, record 1, French, - concentration%20de%20l%27odeur
