[...] on ne peut définir objectivement le véritable seuil olfactif. [...] les méthodes de mesures restent empiriques et subjectives. Par exemple, la méthode ASTM D1391-57 utilise un groupe de 6 ou 8 expérimentateurs que l'on soumet à des dilutions croissantes (concentrations décroissantes) du polluant dans de l'air frais jusqu'à ce que 50 % des membres déclarent ne plus rien déceler. La concentration correspondante est appelée «odeur minimum identifiable» (OMI ou MIO). 4, record 4, French, - seuil%20de%20perception%20individuelle%20de%20l%27odeur
