d-Limonene in dryer-vent air with fragranced and fragrance-free detergent

Scope

Six households near Melbourne, Australia, all using the same two study detergents, one fragranced and one fragrance-free liquid laundry detergent: four used the fragranced one and later switched, two used only the fragrance-free one, and the fragranced values are from before the switch. One-hour samples of dryer-vent air from the start of drying, analysed for d-limonene only. Emission composition, not the smell of detergent; d-limonene is not named as the cause of a detergent's scent; not every detergent; the study's health conclusions are outside this claim.

How this claim was checked

SmellBook checked this claim against the source's own words, so that the claim says no more than the source supports. This does not repeat or re-test the study itself.

The statement the claim rests on was found word for word in the abstract fetched from the named service, and an editor read the full abstract against every part of the claim. Abstract from OpenAlex (api.openalex.org), abstract rebuilt word for word from its word index.
