relativehumidity in the summer. Although the results providedquantitative information for each odorant, the overall strengths ofeach odorant could not be assessed by simply comparing theirconcentration distributions (Kim et al., 2009). Therefore, weassessed the concentration data for offensive odor components byconverting them to OAV and OI as an indirect means of comparingthe relative strengths of different industry types.
3.2. Evaluation of OAV and OI
It was important to analyze the concentration of odorantsbecause it helped us elucidate the fundamental distribution of
