Summary

Characterization of trace amounts of odorants in the Shinshu University School of Medicine Hospital ICU room (ca.257m2) air was carried out by gas chromatography and API-Mass spectrometry. The main component of the oxygenates in the ICU air was ethanol, 3.53ppm, however, the data was less than the odor recognition threshold value (6.1ppm).
