Are odors more apparent in a certain temperature range?
It seems like during rush hour if my window in open in my office I can only smell exhaust from the cars outside when it is a little warmer inside where I am, but if it is down below 60 degrees f, (no heat lately) I can’t smell it. Same with wet paint and other odors.
Is it because the temperature acts on the molecules in the air that stimulate the sense organ, or is the sense organ itself affected by the temperature change?
Smells are carried by molecules of whatever you are smelling. They are carried through the air to your nose, where they are analysed and your brain figures out what it is you are smelling.
The molecules of air are more active when it is warmer; hence, smells propagate faster through warm air than they do in cold air.
Also, more molecules tend to leave the object and float away when it is warmer, so the smell will be stronger.
