I would like to nominate phenylacetic acid. I think there may be trees that give off something like it and it has a diSTINCt aroma. Is it possible that you have some of this stuff in your lab?

Odor
We have a strong “dirty socks” odor present in one of our micro labs. It’s a pretty typical lab using media and cultures, etc. and we are systematically removing everything and deconning but this odor is persisting. I know I have smelt this chemical before, maybe back in my undergraduate days, but it is really a sickening odor. Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
