| This program investigates how psychological principles determine a smell's
level of repellence. After testing natural smells found to be offensive
to most people, scientists at Monell Chemical Services Center and the University
of California propose that our reactions are heavily shaped by personal
experience. Demonstrations of how olfactory lobes work are featured. Host
Nigel Marven observes how one of nature’s worst smells, skunk, fails
to bother everyone at a busy shopping mall. But this soon may change: the
Monell scientists are developing the world’s first universally abhorrent
odor, so disgusting it could be used for crowd control. A BBCW Production.
