Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] Odor
Is anyone maintaining a pot of hazelnut flavored coffee throughout the day? One component of the hazelnut flavor decomposes under extended heating conditions and produces such an odor. Sometimes the ventilation causes it to move surprising distances in unexpected directions. I've know of instances where the coffee was not adjacent to the location of the odor complaint, and spaces in-between did not have the odor (as confirmed by people who did smell it in the complaint area) but removal of the hazelnut flavored coffee did eliminate the odor.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] OdorWe 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!
