The smell of human bones was imitated to search for crime victims in Belgium 04:50

Belgian chemist Clement Martin created a scent that smells like dried human bones to help sniffer dogs search for victims of unsolved crimes and accidents. This information is reported by agency Reuters.

Scientists have previously detected the smell of rotting human flesh used to train animals in Belgian police canine units.

The researcher explained that when soft tissue is lost, significantly fewer odor molecules come from the preserved bones. In this case, the characteristic smell changes over time and differs in phases of three, 10 and 20 years.

Additionally, skeletons slowly absorb odors from the environment due to the porous structure of the bone material. All this makes finding the remains difficult.

To develop the taste, Martin used dried bone samples, including the remains of an unidentified man found in a suitcase.

The expert noted that it took 1,000 hours to train search dogs to search for human remains.

Previous scientists I learnedDogs can smell the fungi that damage vineyards.
