anyway the "old people's house" smell actually comes from a compound called tetrakloorianisoli (finnish, idk what it is in english) which comes from wood that's been treated with chlorophenols. it's an "old people smell" because old people tend to live in houses that have that i guess. i don't think there is proof of tetrakloorianisoli being harmful to health but chlorophenols can cause cancer
Is it poor indoor climate smell basically? Old ppl smell can be noticed even if they're not in a wood-related home.
it's one of them yea. molds and other indoor air problems have many different smells but the old people smell is a common one that ppl recognize
