How can you smell a fish and chip shop from across the road?

Answer 1

When a fish and chip shop cooks food, it releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. These VOCs are carried by air currents and can travel quite a distance, allowing you to smell them from across the road. Additionally, the sense of smell is highly sensitive and can detect even small concentrations of these compounds. The combination of these factors enables you to smell a fish and chip shop from a distance.
