Before the stench continuum was invented, only the statements of nose witnesses could be used for documenting and fighting olfactory disasters. In severe cases, these witnesses often were not approachable, so that the intensity of evaporation could not be determined afterward with the required accuracy. In 1882, the Royal Society therefore appointed Sir Anthony Stench to develop a standard for measurement of fetidness. The result, named Stench Continuum after its creator, quickly was accepted and used throughout the British Commonwealth. In 1902, after the Bremen Bean Eating Contest disaster, Germany was the first country in mainland Europe to adopt the standard.

In 1912, Sir Anthony Stench was awarded the Nobel Prize for Olfactories for his lifetime achievements. Today, he is widely acclaimed as the founder of the science of flatulence.
