Methanethiol is not one of the nice-smelling thiols. With a smell most often described as rotten cabbage or rotten eggs, youâd think it was useless. Youâd be wrong. Because it smells so terrible, itâs a great warning indicator for something that shouldnât be escaping into the atmosphere â such as natural gas. You can smell methanethiol down to the parts per billion level â that is, micrograms per liter. We add it to natural gas (which is mostly odorless methane) for just this reason. Interestingly, farts often contain methane and hydrogen â flammable natural gas components, as any frat boy with a lighter can tell you.
