The perception of air quality inside vehicular cabins is often associated with its odor. To minimize odor andimprove the consumer's experience, it is important to understand organic compounds outgassing from thematerials used inside the cabin. However, current odor tests provide no information about these compounds,limiting the ability to optimize the manufacturing process. Canadian General Tower (CGT) is a major Canadianmanufacturer of polymeric materials for automotive coverstocks, and is partnering with University of Torontoin this project to study volatile organic compound emissions. Prof. Chan's research group will use advancedanalytical tools and statistical analyses to determine compounds responsible for malodor. The results from thisstudy will be used to adjust CGT's manufacturing process to minimize odor and improve its globalcompetitiveness in the automotive market.

人们对机舱内空气质量的感觉往往与其气味有关。为了最大限度地减少气味并改善消费者的体验，了解从机舱内使用的材料中释放出的有机化合物是很重要的。然而，目前的气味测试没有提供关于这些化合物的信息，限制了优化制造工艺的能力。加拿大总塔公司(CGT)是加拿大一家主要的汽车顶盖聚合物材料制造商，目前正与多伦多大学合作研究挥发性有机化合物的排放。陈教授的研究小组将使用先进的分析工具和统计分析来确定导致恶臭的化合物。这项研究的结果将被用于调整CGT的制造工艺，以最大限度地减少气味，并提高其在汽车市场的全球竞争力。
