• Chemical Data Guide for Bulk Shipment by Water odor descriptions • Typical odors associated with amine compounds • How cargo data guides group chemicals with similar characteristics

💭 Think About

• Think about what common household or industrial chemical family propanolamine belongs to and what that family usually smells like. • Compare each odor choice (ammonia, sweet, fishy, turpentine) with what you know about amines in general. • Ask yourself which of these odors is most often mentioned together with strong cleaning agents, solvents, or gas-leak smells.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify how amines are commonly described in safety data sheets (SDS) or chemical references. • Check whether the Chemical Data Guide tends to describe similar amine cargoes with the same type of odor phrase. • Confirm that the odor type you choose is more typical of nitrogen-containing chemicals than of hydrocarbons or organic solvents.
