Węch to zmysł, o którym jest niewiele informacji w literaturze. Kojarzy się głównie z czuciem zapachów. Oczywiste jest, że jest to tylko jedna z wielu ról tego zmysłu, co zostanie opisane w niniejszym tekście. W artykule zostaną także wyjaśnione pojęcia hiposmia i anosmia oraz opisane będą ich przyczyny. Cel artykułu to próba wprowadzenia nowego terminu – niepełnosprawność węchowa — oraz uzasadnienie jego powstania.

Smell is a sense that is poorly described in the literature. It is mainly associated with perceiving odors. It is clear that this is only one of many functions this sense has, which is described in this article. Also the concepts of anosmia and hyposmia along with their causes are explained in the article. Its aim is an attempt to introduce and justify a new concept - olfactory disability.

Artykuł zawiera opis zmysłu węchu, jego rozwoju oraz działania. Ujęto w nim informację o pełnionych przez węch funkcjach i roli, jaką spełnia w codziennym życiu człowieka. Następnie dokonano przedstawienia charakterystyki zaburzeń węchu. Ostania część artykułu wiąże się z uzasadnieniem, dlaczego węch i jego upośledzenie miałyby być również przedmiotem badań nauki, którą jest logopedia.

We present the case of a subject developing anosmia, preceded by nasal transient irritation and short lasting phantosmia and torqosmia, upon re-entrance into a room treated with a pyrethrin-based insecticide. The concentration of the insecticide in the room is unknown, but relatively high levels are predicted basing upon the modality of exposure and by the irritation symptoms in the subject. Despite corticosteroids therapy, anosmia has persisted unmodifi ed for more than three years; according to, and based on evidence in the literature on olfactory disturbance prognosis, anosmia in this patient is likely to be permanent. The signifi cance of this case report is related to the current wide use of insecticides containing pyrethrin and pyrethroids and highlights the need for more adequate attention to lowering airborne concentrations of pyrethrins and pyrethroids prior to re-entering the treated rooms. In particular, in a closed space sprayed with pyrethrins and pyrethroids insecticide, any irritant symptoms and/or dysosmia should be immediately considered relevant warning signs, and must be avoided.
