  If you can smell a fart, you are smelling poop aerosols.

    Not necessarily, gasses smell too.

      I hadn’t considered this! So when you poop in the toilet, the bad smell is partially from gases, not entirely from airborne poop particles?

      I’m also really sketched out about how belly button lint is from underwear, but i guess that’s off the topic.

        Definitely partly from the gaseous byproducts of digestion, yes.

        Also poop aerosols, but not exclusively.

    The odor is from sulphide gases.

      Sulfide gas smells different, more like rotten eggs.

      Farts smell like poop.
