Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Scientific literature supports the premise that odorous molecules undergo atmospheric dispersion, dilution, and chemical degradation.

The analysis

The retrieved papers examine atmospheric degradation kinetics via hydroxyl radicals (Paper 1) and dispersion modeling of volatile organic compounds (Paper 2), directly substantiating the claim that odorous molecules disperse, dilute, and undergo chemical degradation in the atmosphere.
