VERIFIED CLAIM · WORDING NOT CHECKED: NO SOURCE SUMMARY AVAILABLE

VERIFIED means the claim rests on a registered published source whose citation SmellBook checked. No abstract or other summary of that source was available, so SmellBook could not compare the claim's wording with the source's own words.

Petrichor and rain on dry ground

The scientific literature has used the term petrichor for the characteristic earthy odour associated with rain acting on dry mineral and soil environments.

Scope

Historical scientific framing of petrichor; this does not mean every rainy environment has one identical chemical profile.

How this was found

Broad account. A broad statement about how an aroma forms, how it is studied or what a term means, rather than one measurement.

Source: primary study.

This describes how the source's evidence was produced. What the claim itself covers is its scope, above; how SmellBook checked the claim, where it could, is the next section.

How this claim was checked

No abstract or other summary of this source was available, so SmellBook has not checked this claim against the source's own words. The note below records why.

Neither Crossref, Europe PMC nor the publisher's page provides an abstract, so the claim has not been checked against the source's own summary.
