More outdoor air, less office odour

In a normally furnished office, raising the outdoor air supply from 3 to 10 and 30 L/s per person reduced the share of people dissatisfied with the air and the perceived intensity of odour, and made the air seem fresher.

SCOPE

Groups of female subjects in one office during 4.6-hour sessions; it concerns perceived air quality, not the smell of offices in general.

SUPPORT CHECK

The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from Europe PMC (ebi.ac.uk/europepmc).
