Why does anaerobic decomposition have an odor?
When organic matter decomposes anaerobically (that is, without air), as it does in the human bowel, methane gas is produced. Methane is a greenhouse gas 20 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide. The anaerobic process also occurs in cattle, as well as in landfill, and is a significant contribution to greenhouses gases.
