Diffusive odor, chokingly repulsive, ethereal-sulfuraceous. It has often been claimed that the malodor is due entirely to impurities, and the author can confirm that this chemical, coming out of the exhaust vent of a Gaschromatograph, does not smell truly repulsive, but rather sweet, cabbage-like, almost herbaceous, slightly green.
Since Carbon disulfide has been used for certain extraction purposes it is included in this handbook. Also because it may actually have an interesting odor when absolutely pure.
Produced from: 1) Charcoal with Sulfur vapors. 2) Methane with Sulfur vapors.
