I was recommended that the next time I test for coliform is to open the petri dish dish and smell it so the next time I go to a well I can compare it with the odors in well water.
I told I didn't buy that advice but he repeated numerous times on line.
I told him that it was best to take samples to certified labs and expect documented results.
My question is: Has anyone heard of such a method?
I would never stake the health of anyone (or animal) on such a sniff test. Do it by the numbers in accordance with standard accepted (scientific) practices.
Just remember, you can always tell a fool but you can't tell him much!
There are all sort of specious processes for doing things, spunk water and dead cats for treating warts sort of stuff. Don't take dumb risks with health issues.
It might have merit if your olfactory senses were refined to the point that they are much more sensitive than the ones you posses.
Perhaps your adviser has abnormal abilities but until you can equate yours with reputable testing facilities perhaps stay with the reputable testing facilities.
