description: Odour characterization from indoor environments is necessary to evaluate perceived indoor air quality or to apprehend the impact of different sources such as ground and wall coverings. Electronic nose technology seems interesting face to time -consuming sensory analysis with trained panels. The sensor array used in this study is based on conducting polymers. In order to understand what type of information comes from the sensor, the responses to 10 emissions of indoor frequently used paints where confronted to odour intensity evaluation of these samples by 13 individuals (olfactory matching method) and to their respective analytical composition. Correspondence Analysis of the different experimental matrixes (10 paints for 13 subjects, 28 sensors and 27 analytical variables) yielded three responses spaces. As samples show dependency, the olfactory space gives only three dimensions, the principal one characterising trigeminal sensation which were confirmed by strong concentrations of aldehydes in alkyd paints. This dimension is the only one retained in sensor interaction space and the most important in the analytical space. Paints classification in the 1-dimensional sensor space or in the first factor of analytical space follows the one found by a specific anosmic individual, whose sole presence increased the number of paints classes from 2 to 3. This result enhances the need to consider interindividual differences in odour characterization. A four-dimensional space including all data has been defined. The samples that cause trigeminal sensations were removed. The remaining data were transformed in ranks. Variables classification allows the identification of five clusters, supposed to correspond to independent ligand-olfactory receptor properties. Classification similitudes were observed between several sensors and some individuals, indicating similar response mechanisms. This approach brings some knowledge on the structure of human olfactory receptors and the number o…
