TL;DR
Psychophysical approaches that provide information for the evaluation of adverse chemosensory effects at workplaces where volatile chemicals are used are described and a diverse class of chemicals can be described and compared with respect to their chemOSensory potency.
Abstract
By means of these psychophysical approaches a diverse class of chemicals can be described and compared with respect to their chemosensory potency. This information can be used twofold (a) for the evaluation of existing studies reporting sensory irritations and (b) for the design of experimental exposure studies.

Chemical SensesA Study of the Test-retest Reliability of Ten Olfactory Tests
328 Citations1995Richard L. Doty, Donald A. McKeown +2 more
Overall, this study suggests that considerable variation is present in the reliability of olfactory tests, reliability is a function of test length, and caution is warranted in comparing results from nominally different olfactometer tests in applied settings since the findings may, in some instances, simply reflect the differential reliability of the tests.

The results established the fact that directional orientation, considering single momentary odorous sensations, can only be assumed, when the olfactory stimulants simultaneously excite the trigeminal somatosensory system.
PerceptionNatural Sniffing Gives Optimum Odour Perception for Humans
245 Citations1983David G. Laing
It is shown that it is very difficult to improve on the efficiency of sniffing techniques of individuals and that a single natural sniff provides as much information about the presence and intensity of an odour as do seven or more sniffs.

Physiology & BehaviorThresholds for odor and nasal pungency

The outcome of a scaling experiment employing normosmic subjects indicated that, with the exception of methanol and ethanol, pungency arose when perceived intensity reached a narrowly tuned criterion level.
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental HealthThe influence of cognitive bias on the perceived odor, irritation and health symptoms from chemical exposure
155 Citations1997Pamela Dalton, Charles J. Wysocki +2 more
There is strong evidence that both the perceived odor and cognitive expectations about a chemical can significantly affect how individuals respond to it, and there may be limited value in using non-exposed controls to assess the irritancy of chemicals for worker populations.

125 Citations1995J. Enrique Cometto-Mu ́iz, William S. Cain
Eye irritation thresholds were remarkably close to nasal pungency thresholds obtained previously in persons lacking olfaction, implying that the eyes could serve as the sites to assess potency for induction of nasal pwnency, an assessment previously limited to testing anosmics.

121 Citations1992H. Kenneth Hudnell, David A. Otto +2 more
Results indicate that irritation intensity and other symptoms are not related in any simple way to odor intensity, which suggests that the symptoms may not be a psychosomatic response to the detection of an aversive odor, and subthreshold levels of VOCs may interact additively or hyperadditively and stimulate trigeminal nerve receptors.

115 Citations1998J. Enrique Cometto‐Muñiz, William S. Cain
The threshold for nasal localization offers a suitable way to measure nasal irritation in normosmic persons and olfactory stimulation does not interfere with the measure since subjects cannot localize on that basis.
Health PsychologyCognitive influences on health symptoms from acute chemical exposure.
99 Citations1999Pamela Dalton
The overall pattern of results suggests that many of the health-related effects of exposure to odorants are mediated not by a direct agency of odors but by cognitive variables, such as mental models of the relationship between environmental odors and health.
Toxicology LettersUpper airway irritation, odor perception and health risk due to airborne chemicals
91 Citations2003Pamela Dalton
Research studies evaluating chemosensory irritation from volatile materials should be capable of distinguishing between the annoyance or concern elicited by odor sensation and that eliciting by true sensory irritation, and separating true adverse health effects from those mediated via psychosocial factors.

41 Citations1994J. Enrique Cometto‐Muñiz, William S. Cain
Pungency thresholds — but not odor thresholds — showed a uniform linear relationship of slope close to unity with saturated vapor concentration, irrespective of chemical functionality or carbon chain length, which suggests that pungency from nonreactive airborne chemicals rests heavily on a relatively unspecific physical interaction with a susceptible biophase.
