Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Artifactual Influences: |
An adjective that best describes some compounds, materials and agents, or a process that is made by humans or influenced by human activity. |
| Cacosmia: |
The perception of a foul odor or a stench when apparently none exists. In some instances the condition results from psychological factors, as in olfactory hallucinations. As related to cacesthesia, this is any morbid feeling or disordered sensibility, which may be present potentially from a building having altered environments and smells. These types of buildings need to be investigated thoroughly in attempting to separate actual fact from perceived fact.
