Introduction to forensic odorology provides a foundation of knowledge about the human odor, genetic background, their molecular composition and olfactory ability of dogs in forensic identification and detection of other odors (explosives, drugs, etc..). The course is supplemented with legal aspects of forensic odorology and examples of forensic practice. The course provides basic information on the use of smell dog people. It also describes the anatomy and physiology of smell with special reference to the dog home.
