【Can’t stay up late? Can’t drink alcohol? Can’t eat spicy food? Why is this profession so “special”? 】In recent years, artificial olfaction has gradually become an innovative approach for companies in the petrochemical industry to identify and address VOCs. For sniffer dogs, their noses function like a \"central processing unit.\" To keep their sense of smell functional, they must not stay up late, drink alcohol, or eat spicy food. Scent detectors are able to identify the various substances present in unusual odors at a site, thereby determining the possible locations of leaks. They provide firsthand information on odor control, enabling precise identification of the source of the problem and targeted treatment, thus offering strong support for creating odor-free factories.
Many subsidiaries of Sinopec are piloting it.
Is getting rhinitis from this type of job considered an occupational disease? 、
Hahaha, that seems quite reasonable. Occupational diseases should also include various poisoning reactions caused by toxic gases
It is said that some products also require manual evaluation to determine their scent level.
Is it mainly because the experts are in agreement? Is it consistent with GDS, etc.?
:Aren’t LOL machines more sensitive?
Are rhinitis or respiratory diseases considered occupational diseases? This is treating people as cheap tools, right? Why not use testing equipment? (The pictures show portable testing tools being used, but the article mentions \"manual sniffing\"); aren’t they more expensive than human labor? Moreover, relying solely on human smell is affected by an individual’s physical condition and sensitivity; it’s too subjective and depends too much on experience. One person says there is a smell, while another says there isn’t – whose word should we believe? It can’t even achieve parallelism or repetition; the reliability of the data is laughable! Human effort has its limits; that’s why we need to develop monitoring equipment – this is going in the wrong direction!
