Odour intensity reflects people’s perception of odours and contributes to effective odour management. In this study, Japanese conventional six-point odour intensity scale was reconsidered to ensure equal intervals between odour intensity levels. A new series of six dilution steps of 1-butanol solutions with a concentration of 0, 10, 600, 2600, 9000 and 22500 ppm (vol/vol) was proposed and explanatory labels for odour intensity levels were determined. In addition, polyethylene (PE) bottles were proposed as containers for 1-butanol odour intensity reference solutions for convenience in on-site handling, and the effectiveness of PE bottles was suggested. These results showed that the new odour intensity scale would be applicable to on-site investigations and practically useful for all people related to environmental odour evaluation.</p> </p></abstract><publication_date><month>09</month><day>27</day><year>2018</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>659</first_page><last_page>663</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">gnest_02779</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.002779</doi><timestamp>1714108365</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/gnest_02779</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
