A Chicago AP report details Frank Jarke and an odor panel at the Illinois Institute of Technology studying smells. The team tests landfill and industrial odors, samples body scents, and uses 146 descriptive terms to rate each odor as very, moderately, or not like a term. They seek new diagnostic uses from breath and body odor analysis while recalling wartime efforts to locate soldiers by scent.
