Luca Turin, a biophysicist and the head of technology for a perfume company, is the author of The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell.IIRC, a sign of chemical attack is an abnormally large number of dead critters which should be obvious.

Dont worry, because heres the thing: the more powerful the stench, the less likely it is to do harm.And the NY Times is proof of that.

...though many people still use the expression rotten egg smell, few have ever encountered it.Apparently this fellow hasn't experienced the "Monday Morning Mens Room" where he works.

though many people still use the expression rotten egg smell, few have ever encountered it. Instead, what we fear today when we smell sulfur is the possibility that manufactured poisons are present.In all of the hype about that lingering odor I never heard once of the possibility of the aroma coming from H
2S.
Hydrogen Sulfide Gas - "Rotten Eggs"While extremely high levels of hydrogen sulfide can indeed be harmful, even deadly, H2S is one of those chemicals that can be detected by the nose at an extremely low level. In fact, it can be detected by the human nose at a concentration 1/400 times lower than the threshold for harmful human health effects.

Ah, that explains it. I'm deathly allergic to most perfumes and I *can* smell them, too. He's a perfume guy, so thinks his *product* doesn't stink, lol.
