Olfactometry

Maybe the good people of Ogden, Utah, need to join forces with IBI, inc.

"Stench is not the lasting memory that we want people to have in Ogden," he said.

I've never been there, and stench is already my lasting memory of the place, thanks to this very public referendum on Ogden's malodorous reputation. Just like I always think of feral dogs when I think of Bucharest.

A device known as an olfactometer would be used by city inspectors to determine if an odor had reached an objectionable level. Restaurants and bakeries would be exempt.

Seems to me that, of all businesses, you'd want your restaurants and bakeries to be emitting as little stench as possible. Maybe Ogdeners (Ogdenites?) really like exotic cheeses when they dine out.
