Abstract

Various man-made and naturally occurring chemicals and substances can modify the chemosensory systems of animals and man. This article provides an overview of research studies that investigate the impact of pollution on taste and smell perception. Acute and chronic alterations in taste and olfaction are discussed for solvents, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, disinfectants, germicides, soil fumigants, dyes, pharmaceuticals, textile wastes, smog, tobacco smoke, perfumes, flavors, plastics, synthetic rubber, and other industrial substances. The mechanisms by which pollutants may cause physiologic and biologic changes are highlighted. Natural detoxification systems are discussed, as well as treatments for chemosensory deficits.

摘要

各种人造和天然存在的化学物质及物质会改变动物和人类的化学感应系统。本文概述了研究污染对味觉和嗅觉感知影响的研究。讨论了溶剂、除草剂、杀菌剂、杀虫剂、消毒剂、杀菌剂、土壤熏蒸剂、染料、药物、纺织废料、烟雾、烟草烟雾、香水、香料、塑料、合成橡胶及其他工业物质导致的味觉和嗅觉的急性和慢性改变。文中强调了污染物可能引起生理和生物学变化的机制。还讨论了自然解毒系统以及化学感应功能缺陷的治疗方法。
