What is Odor?
An odor, or odour, is caused by one or more volatilised chemical compounds that are generally found in low concentrations that humans and animals can perceive by their sense of smell.
Odour is most prominent in environments where there is high temperature coupled with high humidity. Heat allows materials to expand which in turn allows odours to penetrate into those materials, making the odours more apparent.
Moisture in the atmosphere is also a factor in the growth of mould and mildew, which assists in the rotting process, which in turns lets out a damp or musty smell.
