Zusammenfassung
Große Worte über die Bedeutung chemischer Sinne für unser Leben zu verlieren, können wir uns ersparen. Es darf aber darauf hingewiesen werden, dass für viele Tiere, insbesondere für nachtaktive Säugetiere und soziale Insekten, chemische Sinne nicht nur zum Suchen und zur Prüfung der Nahrung und nicht nur zur Orientierung in einer duftenden Umwelt dienen, sondern auch im Dienste eines ausgeklügelten chemischen Kommunikationssystems stehen. Auch wenn wir Menschen tausend verschiedene Düfte wahrnehmen können, in der Empfindlichkeit, Diversität und Präzision bei der Identifizierung einzelner Substanzen und der Ortung ihrer Quelle sind uns zahlreiche Tiere, viele Insekten eingeschlossen, überlegen. Trotzdem ist auch heute noch bei nicht wenigen flüchtigen Molekülen die Nase des Chemikers oder professionellen Duftprüfers das leistungsfähigste Analysengerät. Manche Duftstoffe sind in Konzentrationen von bis 10-18 mol/l Luft oder Wasser wirksam, eine unvorstellbar niedrige Konzentration.
