So the scent moves with the air flow?
But scent in the air will never concentrate only dissipate. But dust particles do accumulate.

Here are some diagrams of how cadaver scent moves outdoors, Rob

http://www.vsrda.org/how-scent-and-airflow-works

From there - Pooling

Pooling Scent
collects in an area like a pool of water
usually occurs in a low area
occurs where there is little dispersal of scent by the wind
It hard for dog to follow a scent pool to the subject

Pooling with water is the flow of water to a lower level basin, I doubt if that happens with gases to any degree.

OK cold air is denser than warm air meaning cold air will pool.  If air with scent was denser than non scented air it could happen, but I doubt it.

The question I ask is :- at what stage do the molecules separate enough during diffusion to cease becoming recognisable to dogs as cadaver odour?

There would be a variety of molecules that need to be together for the dog to recognise the odour as human cadaver.

All cadavers will produce putrecine  "Putrescine, is a foul-smelling organic chemical compound NH2(CH2)4NH2 (1,4-diaminobutane or butanediamine) that is related to cadaverine; both are produced by the breakdown of amino acids in living and dead organisms and both are toxic in large doses."

All cadavers will produce cadaverine  "Cadaverine is a foul-smelling diamine compound produced by the putrefaction of animal tissue. Cadaverine is a toxic diamine with the formula NH2(CH2)5NH2, which is similar to putrescine. Cadaverine is also known by the names 1,5-pentanediamine and pentamethylenediamine."

So even though I read that cadaver dogs are sniffing cadaverine and putrescine these molecules are just the basic.  - Like that confirms to a dog they are dealing with a dead body.

The dog must have additionally picked up that there are other species specific molecules, and what they are, I just don't know. Is it something based on our diets as compared to other animals.

This example talks about following scent to the subject... physical remains..so there is a constant supply of odour....not remnant scent

If this article is correct a dog is smelling "skin rafts" not actual molecules.  http://www.vsrda.org/how-scent-and-airflow-works

Air scenting dogs might operate that way  but they say cadaver dogs can detect odours on items even after they have been laundered, so I tend to think it will be something other than skins rafts.  Only a guess.

Surrounding air and out through windows  and doors..remnant scent lasts in a completely sealed room but would not in one with open windows and doors....and certainly not an outside flower bed

Do you have a cite for the windows and doors being open and that remnant scent wouldn't last unless the room was completely sealed.

The apt was let out...so doors and windows neould be opened.

There are no studies that show how long scent would last.
That's the whole point re alerts...no science to support them
There was an alert outside in the flower bed...how on earth would remnant scent last ,3 months outside

I have read that soil will hold cadaver scent and that bushes etc will also preserve the scent. 

Also regarding windows, doors.  From the Theresa Parker case.

Grime added Eddie did not seem interested in the vehicles but in a scent that was wafting in the air, based on the way the dog held his nose upward. Grime said Eddie then "hit" on an abandoned house next door. Testimony shows that house was never repaired after a fire gutted the inside and killed a child several years ago.

But of course you know more than Martin Grime.  I wonder what happens when science catches up with the dog alerts Davel, it may already have, then what will you say?

If the soil was holding scent it would hold molecules that could be tested for...there is no science to support the validity of the alerts...the alerts have never been scientifically tested.  Until they are they have no evidential reliability..
Grime is a dog handler..not a scientist...all his claims have little value without evidence

A bit like your claims Davel. No cite no value IMO

I imagine Martin Grime has a tiny bit more knowledge of cadaver scent and how it moves or stays in place than you do Davel.

I would agree...without proper scientific testing the value of the alerts is quite limited.... but the dogs are trained to find evidence and that's what gives them value

He may be referring to a closed building which had physical remains...if not he makes no sense
