| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although trace gases emanating from human skin surface often cause body odor, little has been known for their adverse effects on human health. However, there exist some people who claim his/her body odor provokes allergy like reactions of people in their near vicinity. This symptom or phenomenon is called "People Allergic To Me (PATM) " which has been almost unrecognized and unpublished in scientific and medical journals. This study aimed to characterize the human skin gas composition of people who claimed PATM. Dermal emission fluxes of 75 kinds of human skin gas were determined at the forearm of recruited subjects employing a passive flux sampler coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed the human skin pattern of subjects who claimed PATM were significantly different with that of healthy volunteers with a possible release of chemicals which causes unpleasant odor and hazardous effect by exposure.
