Five years ago, Meizu released a recruitment information for programmer encouragement teachers, with a monthly salary of 8K-16K, requiring applicants to be “sweet-looking, smiling girls who can sit next to programmers and cheer for him.” On October 24th this year, on the Programmer’s Day, there are still netizens in Weibo Tucao” the company recruits programmers “Teachers should be the topic of holiday welfare”.
In fact, it is not just programmers who have been hotly discussed to encourage teachers. In recent years, many new professions have emerged, which are not only refreshing but also “rich”. Among them, eating dog food and smelling bad smells can earn a few years One hundred thousand.
01 “Smelly smeller” who works on the nose
Smell smellers, scientifically named sniffers, are a group of people who work by nose. A reporter from China-Singapore Jingwei noted that as early as 2012, Guo Degang and Meng Fei hosted the variety show “Very Good” and invited a professional sniffer from Zhejiang Province to participate in the show.

“We mainly provide the malodor index by smelling the air in the surrounding environment. We have to go to all kinds of gas-producing places, including factories, restaurants, toilets, etc.” said the above-mentioned sniffer.
Someone wants to ask, why not hand it over to a professional machine for such a “smellous” job? The sniffer introduced that this is because natureThere are tens of thousands of kinds of gases in, the machine can recognize only more than 100 kinds, and can only measure the concentration of a single gas.
According to the Qianjiang Evening News, there are mainly two types of “smell-smelters” that need to be carried out by environmental factory boundary air and pollution source exhaust pipes. General malodorous samples come from Heixou River, garbage disposal plants, environmental emergency scenes, and areas where citizens complain about malodors.
It is worth mentioning that the judgment of the sniffer has legal effect. If he confirms that the odor exceeds the standard, the relevant department will order the treatment according to law.
So how does the “Smell Smell Master” work? First, they must go to the site to sample air. If the company has processing equipment, use a vacuum bag to sample through the company’s exhaust tube; another type of gas is unorganized emission, and the sniffer must sample according to the wind direction.
After the on-site sampling, the olfactory team gathered in the laboratory for olfaction and passed the human sense of smell test directly. If you only find a sniffer to sniff, the subjectivity is relatively strong, and the experimental results may be inaccurate. Therefore, sniffing requires a group of people, at least 6 people, a judge and a gas distributor, and the results are obtained through statistics.
In the gas distribution room, the gas distribution personnel fill three bags with dry netAir and contaminated air samples, and then handed over to the sniffing division. These samples will be numbered for record purposes. After the air sample is diluted, the sniffers need to sniff for many times until all sniffers can’t smell the smell.
The data after statistical analysis can provide a scientific basis for the environmental protection department to judge whether the collected gas exceeds the standard.

Applicants for sniffers should go to the National Key Laboratory of Odor Pollution Control for unified training, pass written examinations and olfactory tests, and obtain qualification certificates. In the olfactory test, five odors need to be distinguished: sweat, floral, ripe fruit, sweet rice and feces.
In addition to the requirements for physiological status and age limits, “smell-smelling masters” are audited every three years, which is equivalent to an “annual audit.” Each “annual review” has a elimination rate of almost 30%. If you fail the exam, you can only withdraw from the team of sniffers.
According to the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, from 2014 to 2018, a total of 468 sniffers were issued certificates, including 262 male sniffers, accounting for 56%; 206 female sniffers, accounting for 44% , Mainly young people.
In fact, in the United States, the Netherlands, Japan and other countries, there are also “smelly smellers” as a profession. The work content of “smelly smellers” in different countries is different. The American “smelter” needs to walk through the bustling crowd every day to smell the odors emitted by pedestrians and provide data for human body odor research experiments; the Dutch “smelter” lives on the edge of industrial and residential areas In the hut, he put his head out of the window to sniff from time to time to monitor air pollution; if Japanese “smelters” find peculiar smells in subways, stations, public toilets, etc., they should immediately report to environmental protection authorities and instruct relevant parties to deodorize within a limited time.
According to media reports, there are currently more than 2,000 “smelters” in Japan with an annual income of 2.5-6 million yen (approximately RMB 160,000-380,000).
