Hi All,

We are improving an exhibit on landfills and landfill gases. One of the
components is an exhibit that addresses the problems with uncollected
gas seeping out into the atmosphere. 

We want this to have a "sniff component" that emits what a landfill
smells like. A sort of "rotten garbage" smell. Any ideas on a source for
this? I thought of installing a small cylinder of H2S but somehow a
cylinder of poison gas on the floor doesn't play well in Peoria. I've
also considered using Asafetida (Hing) a very strong-smelling Indian
spice. Any other ideas?

Jason Stevens: I called the source for the previous stinky poo and they
don't stock it anymore and it isn't quite right anyway!

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
