Trigeminal and olfactory chemosensory impact of selected terpenes.
In Experiment 1, four normosmics and four anosmics (three congenital, one idiopathic) provided odor and nasal pungency thresholds, respectively, for the following terpenes: delta3-carene, p-cymene, linalool, 1.8-cineole, and geraniol, plus the structurally related compound cumene. Additionally, all subjects provided nasal localization (i.e., right/left) and eye irritation thresholis. Trigeminal...
متن کاملDynamics of nasal irritation from pulsed homologous alcohols.
Relatively, few studies have focused on how nasal irritation changes over time. To simulate the rhythm of natural respiration, subjects received 3-s pulses of volatile organic compounds interspersed with 3-s pulses of clean air. Each trial, subjects received 9 pulses of a chemical vapor over about 1 min. Subjects rated nasal irritation from each pulse using magnitude estimation. Within a trial,...
متن کاملNasal, eye, and skin irritation in dockyard painters.
OBJECTIVES To determine whether the risk of irritant symptoms in painters is related to their exposure to paint. METHODS The prevalences of skin, eye and nasal symptoms were compared in 260 United Kingdom and 109 Chinese dockyard painters, 539 British community controls, and 255 Chinese dockyard controls, relative to their exposure to paints. RESULTS Painters showed an excess of irritant sy...
متن کاملOdor and irritation thresholds for ammonia: a comparison between static and dynamic olfactometry.
Odor and lateralization (irritation) thresholds (LTs) for ammonia vapor were measured using static and dynamic olfactometry. The purpose of the study was to explore the test-retest reliability and comparability of dynamic olfactometry methodology, generally used to determine odor thresholds following European Committee for Standardization guidelines in the context of odor regulations to outside...
متن کاملChemical boundaries for detection of eye irritation in humans from homologous vapors.
In a series of experiments, we looked at a "cutoff" effect for the detection of eye irritation from neat vapors of homologous n-alkylbenzenes and 2-ketones. Stimuli comprised pentyl, hexyl, and heptyl benzene, 2-dodecanone, and 2-tridecanone, presented to each eye at 4 and 8 l/min for 6 sec, using a three-alternative forced-choice procedure against blanks. Detection probability corrected for ch...
