That says one part in 2.8 billion is detectable. I'd hate to smell the

Mercaptan is a great prank substance for chemistry students to play with even more powerful a terrorist weapon than hydrogen sulfide. My oldest brother and his pals went into the chemistry lab at school, dissolved hydrogen sulfide gas into a jar of cold water, took the jar to the cafeteria, placed the open jar on a radiator then slunk away. It was like the Jolly Green Giant farted in there and it cleared the room. The monks had their suspicions but
couldn't prove which miscreant did the deed. ?(^o^)?
