Mercaptans are a group of sulfur-containing organic chemical substances. They smell like rotting cabbage, and are, for the most part, what make pulp mills smell like pulp mills. If mercaptans are in the air, even at low concentrations, they are very noticeable. Pulp mills are the chief source of mercaptans, although they are also found in production processes of some pesticides, pharmaceuticals and petroleum products. They are also used as an odourizing agent in natural gas. The human body produces them naturally during digestion of beer, garlic and some other foods.

Mercaptans, also known as thiols, are organic compounds containing a sulfur atom. They have a strong and often unpleasant odor, resembling that of rotten eggs. Mercaptans are commonly used as odorants in natural gas and propane to help detect gas leaks.
What is the gas a skunk sprays?
Skunks do not spray a gas. Instead, they spray a sulfur-containing chemical mixture ((methyl and butyl thiols (mercaptans).

Which mercaptans are naturally occurring?
Naturally occurring mercaptans include methanethiol (ethyl mercaptan) and dimethyl sulfide, which can be found in various biological processes. Methanethiol is produced by the breakdown of organic matter and is present in some foods and as a component of natural gas. Dimethyl sulfide is released by marine phytoplankton and plays a role in the sulfur cycle in the environment. These compounds are known for their strong odors and are often associated with the smell of rotten cabbage or garlic.
