Sedentary subjects occupied an environmental chamber (20–22 °C, 35%–50% RH) with low ventilation for 90 min. Judges (visitors) evaluated the odor of the chamber before, during, and after the 90-min period of occupancy. Odor intensity increased throughout occupancy and delayed afterwards. However, the rate of decay exceeded that anticipated from ventilation rate alone. The results implied that body odor is unstable with a half-life of 55 min. This instability will influence quantitative requirements for the ventilation during nonsmoking occupancy.
